2015 Tour de France Route

[MatParker117]

What a dumb route, long TTT's don't create big gaps anymore particularly now as Sky, Tinkoff, BMC and Movistar are full of good TT'ers. Stage 9 should be an ITT and hell I'd have an MTT up the Alpe.

 

[hrotha]

What long TTT?

 

[the sceptic]

even though this is basically a poor mans vuelta, I have to give them some credit for making such an anti-Dawg route.

 

[Netserk]

You gotta give ASO that they at least do far better presentations than RCS.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

The flashback was quite nice with a good narrative.
But now we have the typical old guys hogging the mike.

 

[l.Harm]

It's true

Unavoidable, but you have to give it to ASO : they do all TV stuff quite well./

 

[Netserk]

7 cobblestone sectors. A proper cobbles stage again.

 

[webvan]

13km of cobblestones...

 

[Pricey_sky]

Happy that the cobbles are back, please be dry!

 

[webvan]

What's with all these empty seats ?!

 

[May0maniac]

Over 13km of cobbles look nice, but you shouldn't have them every year.

 

[the sceptic]

make the cobbles an ITT then..

 

[GP Blanco]

Did he really say that the TTT is a hilly one?

 

[the sceptic]

also, it doesnt seem very smart to have the TTT after the cobbles stage..

 

[Bavarianrider]

Ok guys, have fun with the Tour and other ASO races next year. I won't watch or discuss them.
See you next october.

 

[Netserk]

Aspet, Core and Lers before Plateau de Beille.

 

[TomekA]

Stage 12 great for Contador/Quintana

 

[MikeTichondrius]

Le Quotidien was right. No Col de Champs before Allos. We get a different, easier climb whose name I couldn't read...

 

[Netserk]

7 cobblestone sectors. A proper cobbles stage again.

But further from the finish compared to this year:

 

[Arredondo]

So Glandon and Mont Vernier before finish in Maurienne.

 

[l.Harm]

Are these known cobblestone sectors (from PR for example)?

 

[gregrowlerson]

Over 13km of cobbles look nice, but you shouldn't have them every year.

As many kms of cobbles as ITT ones

 

[Cance > TheRest]

Chaussy included on the La Toussuire stage!

 

[webvan]

Not sure what the big deal about the Alpe being on the day before the arrival, in 2009 Ventoux changed nothing...
