The time has come for my race design challenge, people!
The idea is fairly simple. As you surely know, the 2017 Giro will be in fact the 100th edition. As such, everyone expects a route which has to be "meaningful" for the history and tradition of the Giro and/or Italy itself.
You'll have to design your own 100th Giro.
The rules are the following:
- Start and finish must be placed in Italy
- Can't have more than 2 stages abroad
- All the stupid UCI constraints are in effect. I want a believable route. If you need, you can ask the jury for an exception.
- Transfers of more than 75 kms can be made only during rest days
The jury:
- I'll be part of it
- I'm looking for a couple more members. If you want to apply, just send me a PM. I will announce the jury as soon as it is decided.
- Keep in mind that jury members will not compete, so if you wanna design a Giro, you can't be part of the jury
The competition:
Every participant will post one stage every other day. The jury will assign points to the best routes the day after each round. This system will hopefully encourage people to care about the progression of their stages and prevent overly backloaded routes. And it will add suspence to the competition The points to be assigned will increase in the third week, and the last votation will have the highest number of points to assign. But even so, you don't want to fall back at the beginning.
I will post more details once I have a better idea of how many members are participating.
If you want to participate as a contestant, sign up on this thread or PM me. I will keep a list of players in this post.
The showcase will start on Monday, August 17th, when all players will have to post their stage 1 (the deadline will be at midnight UTC time). On Tuesday 18th the jury will assign the first points, and on the 19th it'll be time for stage 2 and so on.
You basically have the whole tdf to plan your route Good luck!
EDIT:
And here we have the FINAL CLASSIFICATION!!!!!!!!
1. Barmaher 643
2. Gigs 636
3. Libertine 634
4. Brullnux 597
5. Stromeon 591
6. Billie 534
7. Finn 467
The routes:
