If, and only if, I manage to sign an Italian rider I might consider asking for a wildcard... The route is great and riding a GT would be awesome 
Very nice route reveal thing!

Really looking forward to racing this, maybe I should try to sign Cunego/Ricco for this? :-p Nah, most likely sending a stage hunting squad for this, maybe have Brenes/Anacona/Preidler as a pseudo-leader

The sprinters will not like this race ... Very hard will be a very interesting race

Wow, very well done preview. Already looking forward to this, but it doesn't look like a course suited to Amador.

Awesome preview to a tough route but fairly nicely balanced with hills - that's a hell of a lot of gravel though... |

Oh! This is a real surprise for me! I'm honoured that you chose my route, I hope you like it!
Some reflections:
-I agree that is not a route for sprinters, the first version was for pcm 2012 and you know that it was harder to make selection so I used to do stages harder that they should be.
- I usually underrate the last mountain stage and the Dolomitian one: they have some regular long climbs like TDF ones: if there are some strong climbers is difficult makes difference. BUT pay attention to the stage with Bettaforca (is the climb of Monte Rosa Massif), it is really, really difficult, maybe the worst. Pay also attention to the stage that arrive in Verbania (that is in Lake Maggiore, Piemonte, not in Como Lake ) becouse the final cols has got narrow roads and there isn't flat until the arrive.
After this, I suggest a powerful computer to race the route becouse it is high detailed and so the stages are quite heavy and have a good time!

Since these are all in the Stage DB, we will be editing out the narrow roads on the route.
