The worst of race profiles

[StryderHells]

This one from the Tour of Estonia is pretty bad

Here's the profile of the Dutch championships from 2014 in Oostmarsum. Looking at the profile, one would expect to visit the Dutch equivalent of the alpes. Bit disappointing to see the highest they got was 69 meter

They can't even ride 10 km's without having to eat during the ride?

Vuelta a Colombia targetting the win here.

Vuelta a Colombia 2014
This is actually a flat stage:

Real profile:

 

[slosada]

Rio Grande do Sul has horizontal and vertical "creativity"

If the horizontal marks don't make any sense, just look at how the riders fall from a 900m cliff and climb it back in the last 1.1 Km

What ? The distance on the profile between 103km and 153 is the same than between 153 and 172, a bit strange

 

[Stromeon]

Not to mention the fact that apparently 1470 > 2144 in whatever parallel universe they are living in.

Must've been one of the most horrible profiles ever.

Woah! What the hell is this... Looks quite normal at first, but when taking a closer look to km's and altitude.. What the hell...

In all honesty, they are bad but the official profiles are very different:

The equivalent stage:

From Nokere Koerse:

What the heck is this? Is the descent %100 percent?

And this one from Ronde van Drenthe:

So they lose kms while descending the VAM-berg for the first time and climb it back again? If not why the descent between the first two climbs has a glitch?

 

[Maaaaaaaarten]

Ronde van Drente profile should actually be:

[RedheadDane]

Love the Nokere Koerse profile. Looks... difficult.

RvD is just minimalistic.

Indeed. Don't know how they managed to mess it up.

 

[GambadiLegno]

I've never seen this post before, I'm laughing so much :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Tarnum]

The Paris-Nice TT.

 

[RedheadDane]

That's the complete opposite of those exaggarated "flatlander profiles". :lol:

I have always found the Driedaagse de Panne time trial profile hilarious. Flat as a pancake, yet it looks like an Ardennes classic. I'm not sure that traffic bumps need to be represented in a profile.

I don't know how to post photos, unfortunately, but it can be seen here:

That would be this wonderful profile. They really like playing up those speedbumps

I love the giant climb which climbs 5m :lol:

 

[bassano]

[IndianCyclist]

This thread is hilarious. :lol:

I forget what year it was. 2008? When people couldn't make sense of the straight line under the race's logo for one of the de Panne stages until somebody found the page on their website for the next stage and realized oh....that straight black line with no context is the profile.
