No requests? I have some spare time for the coming 3 weeks, so I can do some requests.
Do you need gpx files as a base?

Send me a PM with the following format:
Region:
Type RR (flat, hilly, mountain):
Normal race, NC or WC:
Reason:
Afterwards I can make a .gpx on my own, but I do need a region which has .DEM files.
I've decided to elaborate the requests: normal one-day races are now allowed as well. These won't come with ITTs

Starting in Apulia!
Lecce is about 35 km from me!
Liking this giro variant!
Since this is still provisional:
7 stages in Apulia is kinda unrealistic since in the Giro the highest amount of stages in the South of Italy is about 3. You could have put a stage that hits the Blockhaus, the Terminillo that also has a beatuiful unpaved variant or this: https://www.salite.ch/11145.asp?mappa= the toughest variant of the Etna. Those ones are the toughest mountains in the south of Italy.
Remember to put just a HC, the Cima Coppi, in this case the "Passo del Rombo".

@Dippo: Thanks!
@matt: Glad you like it!
Actually, only 5 stages take place in Apulia. Stage 3 and 7 mainly take place in Basilicata. I know 7 is quite a lot, but since the environment is very suitable for the stages I want to create, I'd like to keep it this way.
About the climbs, my idea was to not use all these more 'classic' climbs, like Blockhaus or Terminillo. The only climbs used before in the Giro in the mountain stages are the Col de Joux (st.15), Passo della Furca (only ascent to Kronplatz, st.19), Passo delle Erbe (st.19) Passo di Giau (st.20), Passo di Sella -icw Passo di Gardena- (st.20) and the Passo Pordoi (st.20 as well). Oh, and the Vesuvius of course.
And of course I'm aware of the Cima Coppi system, the highest climb gets the only .HC of the race. With an altitude of 2509m the Passo del Rombo is the highest indeed.
Spoiler Yeah, I've done my research

Yeah, it seems that you're more than aware of what you're doing. Though that variants of Terminillo and Etna were never used in the Giro. I'm just now noticing now that you choosed very well the cities
Matera is a stunning city and Lecce is beautiful. Without mentioning Livorno

I've started with stage 21 to get the hang back a little, here's a first screen of starting city Vicenza:
If anyone is interested in helping me with creating stages or whatever, feel free to ask by PM.

Stage 21
Vicenza-Verona
Installation guide:
1. Make sure to have the following IBs of adiouk installed: Colosseum 1.2, Truck 2, Italian flag, Power Plant 1.2, Old Gate 1.
2. Download the stage files here.
3. Extract the .rar file with WinRAR, WinZIP, 7z or a similar program.
4. Copy the .zces and .cds file to MyDocs\PCM13/14\Mod\Stages,
5. Open the variant in-game.
6. Enjoy!
NOTE: With a lot of IBs in the stage the loading may take a little while, if you prefer speed over graphics turn off the IBs in your graphical settings.
NOTE 2: I wanted this stage to be raced in sunset, but I have no idea how to get that to work in-game. Getting it to work in the SE apparently isn't enough.
Some screens:
Spoiler Vicenza and its wall
Some agricultural land
Verona is already visible in the distance.

I'm considering to change stage 14, to the Pian del Rè. Currently it has 2 difficult climbs. This means all mountain stages, apart from Vesuvius, which is not a very hard stage, have at least 2 climbs of Cat.2 or more difficult. Should I change it to a _____/ or leave it ____/\_/? The first option would mean that the Colle di Sampeyre will be scrapped.

Just keep it as it is. Though, I don't understand the bold part (?)

Oooh! Now I understand. Well, in the last years the Giro had an uphill finish without a climb before it only once IIRC, this year it was Montecampione, the next one Abetone. Nothing unusual, then
