Ha! For the next 21 mornings my neighbors will hear Italian blasting from my PC's speakers...until the link drops. Then they'll hear shouts and curses in American. Then either some unidentifiable northern European language or a droning Irish accent. Then more shouting. Then silence.

ES keep saying its a more balanced route. To people agree? I think its just as hard, especially since they took Crostis out last year

I was baffled when Kelly said the course is not so hard this year. I studied the stages again yesterday and it looks damn hard to me.

Two weeks from today, we will have had just one decent climb.
Depends what they mean by balanced.

Download a copy of the roadbook. There are a few very weak early climbs.
I'm reminded of what DT said last year about where they come in the race.
