Poiana Brașov



Poiana Brașov begins in, where else but, Brașov and traverses the Poiana Brașov climb over three 67km laps, each lap begins first by tackling the section of climb up to Predeal, which averages less than 2% over 21km, it descends and begins the a slightly tougher climb that's just over 4% but again very consistant over 8km, the race then descends into the town of Brașov to begin another lap. The race is usually decided either by the climbers and puncheurs who can get away over the final climb or the sprinters who can win if the peloton is still together by the finish line.

This is the first ever race that I've been made using only IB cities and no auto-generated ones, so any feedback is appreciated on them.

[grebiere]

As you did not use automatic cities, unsurprisingly, it is your best stage by far. Well decorated, interesting profile, many strategies leading to the victory. Keep on making stages like this
Just a question: where does this race take place ? Poland ? Bulgaria ?

Just a question: where does this race take place ? Poland ? Bulgaria ?

Roumania... But is it a National Championship ?

And yes it's a nice race with IBs, the best method

Maybe change the fences. With the altitude, they are not very realistic. Sometimes far removed.

[Trekbmc]

Thanks guys

As Leon said, it is in Romania but I didn't make it to be an NC (could be used as one though).

Yeah you're right on the fences, planning to update the link soon with that and a couple other improvements.

As Leon said, it is in Romania but I didn't make it to be an NC (could be used as one though).

Ok, If you add a 35/40 kilometers ITT, you could also make a Romanian CN.

A beautiful race

[Trekbmc]

I decided to create another race, to work on my ability to use IBs, then I accidently discovered this neat hill in Bulgaria, and made hell on wheels instead

Feedback is still appreciated though.

Aleko Vitoša

The Aleko Vitoša beins just on the outskirts of Sofia at the base of the Torfeno Branishte, a climb that has 1000m of altitude gain in just 14km averaging at 9% and maxing at 20%, to top it all off, it's cobbled, relatively flat cobbles, but still cobbles and where it isn't cobbled, the road is dirt. Safe to say the riders won't have an easy time here, climbing it 8 times in 190km, with a treacherous descent to break it up.

Note: Tested on both PCM15 and PCM16, to make sure it definitely works on both.

On the AI, the riders race this very fast, from the very start, on one trial there were only 15 riders still in contention with 100km to go, and Kwiatkowski set a pace so fast that only Chavenal and Thomas were there at the base of the final climb.

Very hard race

[Samuel]

Is there a cobbled intersection

[Trekbmc]

Nah there aren't any cobbled ones, a couple dirt ones though, which turned out a little strange like in the second screenshot.

[Samuel]

Actually that's what i thought, but i still want to believe in it : one day, there will be a way to do that

[grebiere]

What a hard race and hard climb
Interesting and impressive discovery, well done.
Your landscape is everytime better. Go ahead

[Trekbmc]

@grebiere: Thanks

Two races from me within a couple days of each other, didn't expect that.

Clásico de Cueva de los Portales

The Clásico de Cueva de los Portales or Classic of the Caves of Portales is a tough race that takes on the climb up to the Cueva de los Portales multiple times from all different directions. With the final ascent just 25km before the finish. Aside from that the stage is predominately flat or undulating but the lateness of the final ascent means that there will be a reduced bunch heading into the finish and a late breakaway could steal the show.

Very Nice !
Is Cuba covered by dem files ?

[Trekbmc]

Thanks

And yeah, the West side of Cuba is covered by the Dem files.

[Flo76]

[Trekbmc]

Thanks Flo!

[Wings]

A stage in Cuba
With udoi you make a great pair, races in the Netherlands Antilles and Cuba

[Trekbmc]

Was on holiday so a bit of a break, but I'm back and making stages now

GP Spangereid

4 Laps around Spangereid in the South of Norway, a particularly hilly area but also with many lakes and rivers and terrain that borders on fjords. The race is hilly, although the hills aren't too severe so unless someone manages to break away, it'll finish in a sprint up the final climb.
