You can try it for sure but, because these stages are the ones heavily marked by the GC favourites, it's likely the Tour gets decided on that one day, and its just a fight for minor places after that. I think the 2020 Giro route did a really good job of pacing. You have some early summit...

Yes but that is because he is so much better than everyone else he can do that. Its not very interesting for the rest of the GC battle when you see people just all riding their own tempo one by one after getting dropped by the UAE train. On steeper gradients you at least get more people going...

An arrival at La Plagne can be good if they do the first part of the 2018 La Rosière stage with the climbs of Bisanne and Col du Pré. You can also link it with the Col du Tra which they have done in the opposite direction to Longefoy in 2023 on the Courchevel stage. But I generally agree that...

Yeah the best way to do it would be to have the Peyragudes TT come on the day after as a half stage. But I don't know realistically what is feasible with the time constraints, You could do Luchon > Saint-Girons via just Mente and Portet-d'Aspet which is only 75km I guess.

From what I have seen on Le Gruppetto recently, there isn't much to go on yet, but it is increasingly likely there will be a summit finish in Superbagnères followed by a mountain time trial to Peyragudes. After that not much seems to be consistently agreed upon, with vague rumours of Ventoux /...

Yes but it's a pretty big transfer from Finestre / Sestriere to the area around Ivrea, at least 2 hours or so. Additionally I am not so sure the Tour would want to take that croix de Coeur descent after the safety concerns of recent years.

Interested to see the Finestre rumours resurface with this info from RAI. I heard previously rumours of Crans-Montana and Varese on the Tour de France, to be seen if these also resurface but, after all the foreign excursions in recent years, I don't really believe in it all that much. There is...

This climb is absolutely slept on. Its a monster, the fact that it ranks with names like Mortirolo in terms of distance above 10% in Italy tells you enough - it may not have the extreme percentages but its consistently brutal! Unfortunately your link no longer works (I assume because...

I know it goes against the current rumours, but I'd love stage 5 to finish in Super Devoluy. We can imagine a start in Bourg d'Oisans, with the climbs of Ornon, Parquetout, Chaillol and finally Noyer before the 3c arrival. Then a couple of transition stages up the Rhone valley before the Cote...

Given how heavy the final week of racing looks I almost hope Gouvenou ignores the stage idea I sent to him...

Gaudu, Pinot, Martinez, Kung, Madouas, Pacher, Gregoire, Konovalovas would be a good fdj tour team. Unlikely they send the young guys maybe but who knows?

I can easily see a format like so: 4 | Pinerolo to Les Deux Alpes (Pramartino, Sestriere, Montgrnevre, Les Deux Alpes) Interchangeable with one big mountain stage depending on configuration of route e.g Tignes after Cenis and Iseran. 5 | Bourg 'Oisans style start for a stage similar to St...

Do you think it would be possible for a Giro to descend the Würzjoch via Luson/Lüsen? I had planned a stage finish at Maranza via the Würzjoch followed by Alpe di Rodegno via the Lüsner Alm. I ask because when I last looked on street view it appeared that there were some wooden bridges and I...

2 stages after rest day*

Supposedly there are 2 stages dedicated to the region around there, the starts and finishes are just speculation.
