Agree with everything Stromeon says here. Great work you're doing!!!
Still, can't you add in another hilly stage?

Hope the Vuelta is nicely balanced then, mostly hill and flat with a couple of mountains (2 MTF tops, 4-5 stages total). TT length not so key though.
Cobbled TTT will be interesting. Cobbled ITT's are enough of a randomiser anyway so i can't wait to see the results from that.
It's an okay route, bit mountain heavy for my liking (not that i'm even going to attend) but you can counter that in the Vuelta. Either way i expect Purito to be on at least two GT podiums now we've seen the routes. Froome should dominate that race though as his slight hill weakness will make no difference. Also worried about how many sprinters would make it to Paris, not that i expect many to attend with that route.

You know how much I appreciate this with Froome and Kristoff in my team?

Bad route for Nibali though. Quite bad.

Giro seems pretty solid for him though once you add in home bonus. It now makes a tough choice for riders like Hesjedal, Martin and those riders who are stronger at climbing. Do they take the Giro or Tour? Both are weighted in their favor but both are going to be hard to win...
So glad i don't have to worry about any of this

And "only" 5 stages for sprinters
But well, I'm gonna accept that
Spoiler Because my TdF team is not good at sprinting, but rather good at cobbles. 
There are actually 7 stages for sprinters.

Mmm... Interesting choice I guess.
Noticed this variant, but feared a cobbled TTT would make the AI go crazy.
Also dislike the lack of hilly stages a bit. Iirc, the Giro doesn't have much hilly stages to make up for it either.
Amount of TTs is fine, though.
It's actually a mix of all three of emmeas variants that ar in the db. The thing is that in none of them there are actually a lot of hilly stages. You are right though maybe I'll add 1/2 hilly stages we'll see. While choosing the route I rather focused on having enough sprint stages and TT kilometres that's why I might have forgotten a little bit about hilly stages. |

Hey thanks for stopping by.
I hope you don't mind, that I use your stages, they are great.
Actually those are stages from all three of your Tdf variant + a tt of a PN variant you made with andrepeg. The last TT is not from you though it's one roturn made once. |

Like promised I added one more hilly stage to the tour route. Now there won't be any changes anymore though |

Nice! Have to puzzle where to send Nibali now. Curious about the Vuelta.

Poor sprinters 
Thinking they could use 1 or 2 additional stages.

Nah, its ok. Last years Vuelta had no more sprinters stages as well. Maximum is one more I'd say.

So Giro for Nibali. Tour for Froome. Vuelta for Purito. Sprinters to cry in a corner as their value drops further down.
Thank god for standard routes in the CT!
