World Championship Cartagena

A tough WC in the Colonial Architecture and High rise Hotels of Cartagena, the race is focused around a short sharp climb with flat in between, which promotes attacking and exciting racing from the gun. The race suits a range of riders, as a WC should, with Climbers, Puncheurs, Classics Riders and even some stronger Sprinters like Girmay able to follow moves. It is a throw up between a solo win or a reduced group coming to the line

Tour de Reunion [PCM 24]
It seems fitting that this race will be released in the same week as we discovered how to make DEMs, as really to many this race is the forgotten DEM file, I don't know if it was blind French Patriotism by the devs or just chucked into the game for good measure, but Reunion never had a serious bike race, and doubt that the isolated island ever will. However it possesses a rare natural gift, with high volcanic mountains enabling the ability to create extravagant high mountain stages, which I thought I would capitalise on. I took this forgotten corner of the world and have put a lot of work into this project, one which I feel most proud of out of the many I have made.

The race
I have used the one over French overseas territory which hosts a race Guadeloupe as the base for the tour, the 10 stages it offers cover most of the Island, bar the volcanic bowls in the middle due to their bugged elevation. I restrained myself on the 10 Stages not making them too mountainous, and realistic for a 2.2 race. For example stage 5 may not look hard, but I have included a fearsome 3km 10+% climb in the middle, with the small teams and weaker domestiques that a French conti/dev and African peloton (which I would recommend for best user experience whilst racing) gives the chance for a long range break to make a decent lead.

Conclusion
I know I have waffled a lot in this but this race, for some reason, feels like a really special release, it is the most detailed ZCTS I think I have done, and purely my own work. I have taken great pride in the smaller details, like petrol stations, prisons, schools, playing fields, campsites, cemeteries etc. I hope these bring life to the stages when playing them and make it a decent viewer experience. Lastly I want to serry happy Christams to everybody who clebrates, and I hope you enjoy my present to you lot ❤️ .

World Championships Vlorë
I thought I would put my new Vlorë ZCTS to good use by making a WC varient to compliment the Giro stage. I have used an unused climb frommthe giro as the centerpiece for a hard WC for the climbers.

Iceland World Championship Variant
After spending too much time in Italy working on the Giro, it is time to cool off in Iceland with a fun little WC variant.

Time Trial
The Time trial takes Place solely in Reykjavik Starting by the Concert Hall, taking a loop around the top of the peninsular before taking a loop around the airport. We then enter the more technical section taking the riders through the eastern suburbs, and the expansive port, before turning back towards the national stadium, with a nice oceanside run into the finish up the climb to the Hallgrimskirkja.

The time trial is short for World Championship standards, but therefore creates an interesting tactical race on the rolling course.

Road Race
Starting at the Þingvellir National Park, the birthplace of Icelandic democracy, although remote, I felt the historical significance to Iceland made it the perfect place to depart from. We then follow the lake to the pass over Nesjavellir, with views over the thermal power plant, before following the overhead cables into the city, which is susceptible to the infamous Icelandic wind. Once on the final circuit there are 4 short climbs, all 500-800m long. The first is one of 2 sides of the Hallgrimskirkja up the Njarðargata, befor the narrow hairpins of the Öskjuhlíð, the hardest climb comes up from around the hospital up the Eyrarland climb, before a run down the coast front to the Frakkastígur the second ascent up to the Hallgrimskirkja, before descending down to the finish by the wheel.
