By looking at the maps (I have only those for now), the stage to Castelraimondo looks really great. Shame is that it comes before an HC MTF.

I do wonder if they put some little wall in the stage to Sant'Elpidio.

edit: screw that, stage 6 is for sprinters

Stage 4 looks awesome! A shame it's the stage before Terminillo.

Told ya
It is really great. And from Maps the last climb looks kinda...dirty.

Edit: that was only from the satellite XD On street view I see it's just tarmac

Another time you have the maps for the stages, but not the profiles, just open the map and edit the url. It's always so predicable what the url for the profile is.

Problem is that I have too much faith in the mankind. If I see the maps and not the profiles I just assume that they just don't have them yet

Sprint stage before pointless 10km TT.. What a **** ending to the race.

Stage 4 looks fun though.

 

[Bye Bye Bicycle]

Let's hope for bad weather or even snow so this stupid MTF in the middle of march gets cancelled.

[Stromeon]

Probably one too many flat stages for my liking but it might entice the top sprinters and we could have an interesting early-season match up. Stage 4 looks really interesting and we haven't had Terminillo for a while so that's quite nice too.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

yep stage 4 is highly raceable. Don't mind having one MTF in a short stage race.
The bump on stage 2, Arezzo does it offer enough to make some excitement other than a straight forward bunch sprint?

lol, clearly that didn't inspire me enough.

Thanks.

 

[Jspear]

Needs one less flat stage and one more hilly stage.

 

[Arredondo]

Stage 4 is a classic 'Ricco-Tirreno' stage. Really beautiful!

On the other hand, the stage to Terminillo is quite poor.

 

[Netserk]

It would've been perfect if stage 4 was the mountain stage and it then had two hilly stages (and no TTT).

So Tirreno 2013 minus TT

No not really. I wouldn't compare stage 4 next year with the Tivo MTF.

More like 2010 with an ITT added.

Yeah of course. Stupid by me

Yeh pretty much, a long way from the 2010/2011 routes.

Maybe I'm being picky but a 40' MTF every year is a bit much for T-A I think. Catalunya on the other hand.

 

[Eshnar]

RCS starting to **** up their own races as usual in this time of the year.

well... ****.

 

[Miburo]

Holy **** that's hard, i thought it was at best 6% based on the profile.

Should have been stage 5 though, that's my only prob with it
