FYI, Libertine, the Cesana Pariol bobsled/luge/skeleton track is now closed and has been dismantled.

So you must have DESPISED my earlier Stage 1 where the opening stage was a descent of Mont Ventoux (as an ITT, and as the entire stage).

Did a 2014 Tour de France with the same start and end towns, but the way I would have done the race. Stage 1: Direct routing (25 km ITT) Stage 2-6: No change Stage 7: Direct routing (201 km) Stage 8: http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3582496 (214 km) Stage 9...

Given the same start and end towns for each stage (although I neutralized about 10 km out of Grenoble to get that stage below 240), I altered four stages for content (and a few others to get under the 3500 km distance, although I don't count those in this), therefore, with a point off for each...

That's what I was thinking, as a recommendation. Frankly, Tourmalet-Hautacam as currently planned is friggin' lame.

Stage 18 of the Tour got me wondering, how about Tourmalet-Aubisque (Soulor)-Spandelles-Hautacam? Just a thought.

Somewhat surprised the stage to Risoul didn't go Saint-Jean-du-Maurienne-Telegraph-Galibier-Izoard-Risoul, especially as the Galibier now hasn't been used since its double-use in 2011? Last time le Tour went so long without using Galibier, the winners in the four years in-between were Miguel...

Just out of curiousity, has anybody tried to do a routing of the Republic of Korea (aka South Korea)? Strangely, I can make stages in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea), but not South Korea. Which one is the totalitarian dictatorship? BTW, I've used both ridewithgps and...

Way to tease us by going right past the Zoncolan, but not going over it. Although isn't the actual road route over the Crostis a bit further north, and also a bit more difficult?

Through October 20 (Nationale Sluitingprijs - Putte - Kapellen, Tour of Beijing, Japan Cup Cycle Road Race) 1. Movistar, 2299 2. Katusha, 2116 3. BMC, 1966 4. RadioShack-Leopard, 1847 5. Sky, 1811 6. Omega Pharma-Quickstep, 1743 7. Ag2r-La Mondiale, 1719 8. Astana, 1628 9. Belkin...

Had some fun with a five-day Tour of Greece...with some historical sites thrown in...including one you might have heard of as an MTF! Stage 1 (Alexandroupolis-Drama-Skalotis): http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3532852 Stage 2 (Drama-Thessaloniki): http://ridewithgps.com/routes/3532862 Stage 3...

Unfortunately, I can't do such a race of my own home area. Well, I could, just that the race would be pan-flat.

Looks like an Amstel Gold Race on steroids!
