Re:Category climbs?
It seems no one really tried to explain the categories this is for a simple fact there aren't any uniformous rules.<br /><br />So I Will give it a try.<br /><br />Catergorys's vary from several factor the same climb can have a different category because off severals facts:<br />The organisation finally desides but there are some unofficial rules<br />the higher the gradient the higher the category<br />The longer the climb the higher the category<br />climbs early in a stage tend to be lower in category<br />when a climb is also the finish it tends to be a category higher as usual<br />not much hills in the stage will mean an upgrade for the hill there is in it and vice versa<br />In the first week hills tend to be overrated to create some tension for the king of the mountain classification.(extreme example once a digue in holland of maybe 15meters high got categorised because it was the only road going up in the first stages, somteimes in mountain stages a hill of 500 meters high gets no classification) <br /><br />classifications tend to vary also considering which race it is, point scales are different for every tour.<br /><br />
