[dolophonic]

Ride along the coast road from Lloret de Mar past Tossa de Mar, as far as the village of Salionç, then turn left.

Santa Grau... Doh ! the one you were talking about.

Nope, but expecting something soon as the holding page has gone from the website and the website is hitting a 404 page.

Doesnt work here in opera 11, firefox 3, firefox 4, Ie 8, chrome 9, or Safari 5. All bring an internal server error.

And thanks, 10th sounds about right, was slated for an early march launch.

 

[nevada]

Thanks. Is there any reason why they leave the route details so late ?

How do you get to the profiles and maps? When I click on a stage it has nothing other than the start/finish and distance, which is no more than ACF put in the first post in this thread.

yeh, the routes been available for about a month.

i think what people (certainly I) am/are looking for is the release of the actual maps and stage profiles.

that is this evening.

basso-contador-evans?

 

[Kvinto]

It's a great course, but those profiles are so inconvenient. Why can't they draw some normal profiles where you can approximately understand what the real steepnesses are (and distances) I wouldn't be surprised if that hill on the final kms of the first stage is something less than 3%.
Anyway, it's way better than PN.

 

[roundabout]

No TT, not even the abridged version of the past years

horrible profiles

1 meaningful GC stage

Edit: here's Pais Vasco

one of the better 1 -week stage race courses IMO

the profiles are all in a different scale which is really annoying.

the overal race profile is something like this.
