Absolutely brilliant!!!

But can you please explain all the notes in the schemes. Below I summarize all the different notes:

A – B – C – D – 2▲E – B – C – 1▲G [Montée L. Jalabert]
What does 1 and 2 means, and what does the underlined C means?

Why are some letters red?

What does "+" or "+4" means?

What happens when there is wind in the stage?

3. Carrara – Montalcino
B – C – 3▲G – D – A – kasseien – B – C – 3▲G

- What does the number 3 means?

- What does the asterisk "*" means before some montains sign?

Hello Erwin,

The "1", "2", "3" or "*" indicate the category (or difficulty level) of the climb (3 is easiest, while * is "hors categorie", i.e. extremely difficult). If using the SOLO rules, different amount of points may be won at different category climbs. If not, simply treat "3" as a hill (5 to 1 points) and all others as a mountain (10 to 1 points).

The red letter indicates the validity limit of the team cards: team cards may no longer be played for riders who've crossed the indicated line.

"+4" at the start indicates that the peloton should be lined up 4 squares *before* the starting line, instead of behind it,

Wind is simply indicated by "wind". Note that wind does not happen unexpectedly, but is an integral part of the race description, like climbs and cobblestone sections (cobblestones = "kasseien"). In wind sections, riders can only follow diagonally to the left (and no longer straight behind another rider. I should post an update of the PRO rules with an example, I guess...

Underlined letters indicate rushes, i.e. intermediate sprints where points may be won for the points classification.

If you have any more questions, about the PRO rules for example, I'm all yours.
