A small Swiss race on the 2016 UCI Calendar, classified as 1.2. It'll be raced within a few weeks, and as you can guess a sprint seems likely. A few short bumps are present in the circuit, meaning that it's still a matter of paying attention and being able to climb a bit.
Another 1.2 race, this one in Croatia. In the last 4 years, it was won twice by a puncheur, and twice in a mass sprint, and given the profile it's not very surprising. The local lap is not incredibly hard, but contains one climb. The finish itself however runs sharply uphill in the small village of Tar.
Nice addition with the new Swiss race. I will test it promptly.
I did a fast look at the new version of Trofej Porec. Nice looking with IB instead of auto-villages. However you forgot a small little thing. In one of the villages you had the intention of places Fences around some houses but left them as Pontoons. A slight error easily done with a flick of the mouse when one "moves" on during the creation of Fences/Pontoons.
Easily fixed since you gracefully included the zcts-files.
Just thought I mentioned it, since for estetic reasons it needs to be fixed.
The Tour of Bihor-Bellotto is another new race on the calendar, on the 2.2 level. A few days back, it was won by Egan Bernal of Androni. The race starts with a very short prologue of just under 2 km, before being followed by the only GC relevant stage, with a finish at Cabana Padis. This climb is quite long, and it's the only chance for climbers to do something in this race, as stages 3 and 4 seem to be made for sprinters.
And yes, I'm aware some of the KoMs may be categorized weirdly. I only followed the official site on this, so I'm not to blame for this
I've built up all stages but the prologue with auto-cities, because it'd save some work, and Romania is very hard to realistically recreate with IBs.
Clamel has been so kind to fix this already for me. In this file you'll find the corrected version, as well as the xml file for correct classifications. All credits to clamel for that.
As you can see this race is very lumpy, constantly up and down. PCM has classified stages 2 and 4 as hilly, 1 and 2 as flat. Stage 1 is the longest @178km, stage 2 is the shortest at 83km. Lots of narrow backroads have caused these profiles to be so weird. In fact, due to all this and a relatively vague route description it was sometimes a bit of a hell to draw the route.
The placement of Int Sprint and KoM may not make sense sometimes, you may think. I fully agree with you on that
For cities (well, villages), I've decided to stick with IBs only. If something went wrong please let me know.
