Agree with lluuiiggii, the screens look great, though i prefer the hilly circuitfinish one 
And you've certainly heard it several times, but you're speed, quality and amount of work is simply awesome! Too bad i'm not playing careers anymore, but i i guess a lot of people will enjoy thisdepth of variants in their careers

Another GT variant being finished as easily as most people do a single stage  Screens look really good (quality is certainly top as usual), nice job If I may ask/suggest: do you adjust time gaps in your stages? (flat 15, hill 7/10 and mountain 4/7). If no, you should consider doing it, few things are more frustrating than getting the same time as a group half a minute below you because there were a couple of riders alone in the middle which made the game consider everyone in the same group, and other similar situations

Thanks. Yeah, I always adjust them. But I leave the real flat stage to 20 seconds, though.
I usally set all uphill finishes to 4 seconds, sometimes 7 seconds if its not thaaat steep.
For example, the third guy got 5 seconds.
Downhill finishes after a descent to 7 seconds, so you can gain seconds after an attack on the descent or so and won't question yourself "why did I just attack here if I get no timegap?".
I also adjust the mountain factor. In Hilly stages I make it most time to 0.5, sometimes 0.6 or 0.4, it depends on the hardness of the stage. It seems illogical to me that a rider with 80+ mountains can't hang with 80+ hill guy on a medium - tough hilly stage. I hope especially for quick simulation an influence here.
Last but not least I do often set the stage classification (flat, hilly, mountain). Since I make mostly historical races I look at the results and try to adjust it the way it was.
Something like this:
It makes no sense leaving a stage like that as mountain or hilly. You will just have stupid AI attacking all way long, especially if someone like Petacchi won that stage back then.

Indeed, that's smart to do and makes the gap/weird AI problems much smaller And yeah, stages like that Giro one should definitely be rated as flag, otherwise AI messes it all
The only think I disagree is about the flat seconds, I personally prefer 15. Back when this was possible to edit in the .cdb (pre-PCM12), the PCMDaily DB set 15 for most flat stages. 15 is more than enough to avoid gaps appearing in the peloton but prevents small gaps like breakaway-peloton or late attacker-peloton from not being counted when it's the case

Thanks. Actually it was a little bit more than a week, I started to upload the screens once I almost finished the Giro.

Admit it - you might not have done the first 14 ones in a day, but the last 7 for sure
Now serious, great job once again. I (and I'd believe pretty much everyone) like your stages not only because you do them super fast, but also because they're all of great quality
