No sorry, my thingy is going really funny and I can't do anything. If you really want a logo, ask a graphic designer, or make your own one. It will be significantly better than mine anyway, all my graphics things are terrible
Most of them were the Nevado del Ruiz, but there were also two narrow bridges on the following stages. To use, just rename to the standard and replace the other files with these ones.

Sticking to the Colombian theme, I've decided to skip the queue with everyone's favourite Hobbit made Colombian mountain classic, one off my most popular downloads. It's classified as mountainous this time, thank goodness, and takes the riders on an exciting new route for the first time.
Unfortunately, the profile screen failed to upload (photobucket is rubbish) so I'll try to describe it for you.
The race starts around a short, flat, circuit. Then, it turns uphill for a mild-ish category 1 climb. There is a bit of flat before they finish off the climb, with another, harder, category 1 segment. I'm afraid you'll have to download for more details!
Sorry, most in game images failed too. Next stop is the Tour of Western Europe, which I'm thinking 15 ish stages for.

As the route is too difficult, the riders get exahusted very quickly, in stage 10 there are already retired riders, and tired ones, I raced with Team Colombia, Im using French DB, so I have 7 colombian teams, a brazilian, argentinian, 3 or 4 north american, and 2 european, all of them continental except my team, and spanish Caja Rural, I don't know if racing with WT teams will decrease the number of retirements, but now, traying to be realistic, there are some teams with only 2 or 3 riders left...
Anyway, I won with Fabio Duarte, and the gap between him and 2nd was aroun 6 minutes, but that was just from stage 13 on, because before, Degain from UnitedHealtcare was in less than a minute...
In conclusion, is a great race, maybe too hard, in a career will be difficult to have it because the riders will need to recover a lot, I think is even harder than a 3 week race... but, I really enjoyed, so, congratulations, and now Ill take a look in your last race... maybe I'll use it as a NC...

@Kadtagenero: To be honest I agree it is a bit too hard, if I made it again I'd change that to be honest. Thanks for your feedback though, I really appreciate it.
@The Rider: Thanks, I appreciate your kind words.
@Jesleyh: My thoughts exactly.
@Emre: As I've said, I don't really make real races. If there is something I really would like to do I will, however, for now, the Tour of Turkey isn't something I really want to do, nor could I really do it justice. Sorry, I hope you understand. I'd recommend asking around with some other stage makers to get it done, good luck!
Name: Ronde van Limburg
Country: Belgium (Flanders)
It's a (real) 1.1 race that takes place around Tongeren to the north of Liege and to the west of Valkenburg. There's a total of 13 minor climbs and 6 minor cobbled sections spread over a little less than 200kms, making it a race for strong sprinters.
The route can be found here. I mapped the route here in order to make the GPX file that I attached.
Here's some more relevant info:
Spoiler
The red loop has three hills and one cobbled section.
Hill 1: Oude Berg. Very narrow.
Hill 2: Letenberg.
Cob 1: Maastrichterallee. 600m long. Starts and ends with a gate and passes by a castle. (Don't know if it's possible to add that.) The difficulty is the narrowness, rather than the cobbles themselves.
Hill 3: Keiberg. Also very narrow.
The blue loop passes by a river and has three new hills before passing by the two previous hills and the previous cobbled section.
Hill 4: Côte de Roclenge.
Hill 5: Côte de Wonck.
Hill 6: Slingerberg. Again very narrow.
The last part of the blue loop is the same as the last part of the red loop, including Letenberg (Hill 7), Maastrichterallee (Cob 2) and Keiberg (Hill 8).
The green loop starts the same as the red loop including Oude Berg (Hill 9). Then there are four cobbled sections and the final hill which is also included in the yellow loop.
Cob 3: Oude Wellenweg. 450m long. Very narrow.
Cob 4: Fonteinhof. 300m long. Very narrow as well.
Cob 5: Manshoven. 1200m long. Narrow, narrow, narrow.
Cob 6: Dumontlaan. 1500m long. Actually not narrow at all.
Hill 10: Kolmontberg.
The yellow is a small local loop, including the Kolmontberg and is passed three times before finishing where we started.
Kolmontberg is passed four times in total, once as part of the green loop and three times as part of the yellow loop.
I hope this is enough info. If you need any more, let me know.

Sounds good, I have added that, and a request I recieved via PM, to the list.
Great! Thanks!
I tried making it myself, but I've never made a stage before.
Spoiler
Reason I wanted it is because it used to be a relatively big race when it was raced on the same day as KBK, but then it disappeared because of sponsor issues. Two years ago, it returned as a 1.2 race on Ascension Day, but from this year on the race will have 1.1 status and will be raced on June 15, making it a perfect prep race for the NCs.

Hi I've got a request for you , but its a real race that haven't been implemented to the game as of yet and I think that's a shame
The race is called Destination Thy and the reason I want to implement this to my game , is because I have lived in this region for 16 years, and it would be awesome to have a race , which annually takes place in my neighborhood I've attached the gpx file , but you will need the course description , as some roads cross several times
Guys, with the release of PCM 13 theres going to be a big shake up.
First of all, sorry for not being here for so long, and not having done any more work. I understand if anyone in the list no longer requires their work done or has moved on to PCM14. If you guys could post here to clarify that would be great, or I will have to remove everything from the list.
Finally, I am still open for requests and hope to get back to stage making in the nearish future. Maximum 3 weeks.
This 15 stage all round Tour is finally finished. It takes the riders from Belgium to France, with a slight detour through Switzerland. (Download in title)
The first stage is a medium length time trial between Eeklo and Bruge.
Immediately the race is very tough, and the cobbles take hold early on. This stage has a large number, so it could be enough to distance a few climbers.
The race reaches its first flat stage. Other than a hill near the end, it should be pretty straight forward.
Another stage which is flat, but has some bumps near the end which could deaden the legs of the lesser sprinters.
This stage is full of short inclines, including a few near the end, like many other stages in this race, to try and add a bit of drama.
The first of two Swiss stages, this TT has a decent hill in it to add a few complications of the riders.
This hard stage ends on the horrible Vanil Noir. This is surely a mountain stage, whatever the official label.
This stage starts off scenic, with a passage by Lake Geneva, but ends off with a little incline for the last kms, which should mix things up.
Image Failed
This stage needs no describing, but since there's no image, it sort of does...
The race takes a relatively easy route around the Alps, until the organisers forget their mission and feel like finishing things on the legendary Alpe d'Huez. It should be a stage to get the GC shape firmly secure for the turbulent days ahead.
This stage bears many similarities to the Milan - San Remo race, including some of the climbs. It should be one for all comers, with punchers, fighters, sprinters, and maybe the odd GC rider going for it.
Yet another flat-ish stage for the tour. This is probably one of the easier ones, so the sprint trains will be out in force.
This transition stage is almost pan flat, until the now trademarked sprint train destroying bump.
Image Failed
The stage from Montpellier to Carcassonne, is largely flat, but the finish inside the walled city is slightly uphill, which should be enough to make timing a key factor.
The last climbing stage finishes on the Pic du Canigo. It is dangerously steep, and comes after days of racing with no rests, so it will be a real test.
The race ends with a time trial encircling, and then diving into the centre of Paris. It could decide, or cement the GC.
Images later.

On another note, for those who still play this edition, and those who play PCM14 (the stages are compatible), I am very much still open for requests, and at the moment there is only one confirmed item in the queue, so now is your chance!
