    procyclingstats also has last years individual stage results, but no profiles. upon studying the official website closely, you can get a pretty good sense of the stage types, i feel. Although I have no idea what the various sprint bonifacation points do. I think they use the term bonification to represent bonus seconds, thus important for GC. as distinct from the other sprints, which i guess would be for sprinters comp. But that’s a guess, I dont actually know.

    Thanks TE,
    I missed the little profiles at the bottom of some maps, and I’ll have to get out the slide rule for the lengths/percentages calculation.
    Don’t the event organisers realise some people analyse the route more closely than the Directeurs Sportif.
    I found last years results at Cycling News by googling “Eneco Tour 2012”.
    Regards,

    Dave, you have mentioned “Primus” and “Bonificates” sprint points in your information on scoring; will the points competition at end of each stage be for POINTS points? (I ask this now cos of the Tour of Poland debate).
    I know we all garner info from lots of sources (and maybe some would like to protect those sources), but I think it would be good to have a quick summary of the basics such as where to find profiles, jersey information, official race points for int sprints, finishes, KOM etc, probably posted in the forum area. Nowhere nearly as extensive as Steephill, but it could become a goto reference for non road.cc people or casually interested people. (I’m thinking more road.cc webpage visits and so perhaps more advertising revenue).
    Regards,

    Im doing the Eneco tour.

    First point, profiles, you can see the route by viewing the map on the site, and for any mountains on the stage the percentages and lengths can be found on the details pdf, as well as where there is an uphill end to the stage a brief profile can be seen on some of the maps

    Next point, the as there is no official KOM Jersey, the primus is effectively scored as that jersey, and the Points jersey (finish line points) will also be scored.

    With this tour the info seems to be scarce (there are no pdf’s of last years results to even look over), so I believe the Primus sprints + KOM (if they are scored in the race) come under the primus jersey and the finish line points and the bonificates sprints come under the points jersey, but again until after stage 1 I have no way of confirming this. There may even be a young riders jersey which is green.

    Hope this helps, I tried to be as clear as I could in the scoring notes, without promising points that may not occur if they don’t provide the information
