Shall it happen before Grande Partenza?still no official word, so definitely not happening this week.
And since next week RCS will be busy with the UAE tour, I doubt it's gonna happen next week either...

nah, they will probably unveil the others just before stage 4, since the first three stages are already official...Shall it happen before Grande Partenza?
Thanks for the update. The waiting game continues..............still no official word, so definitely not happening this week.

not really. As far as we know, they finished the on-site visits last week. Everything should be done. Maybe they just need time now to prepare the material for the presentation in concrete.Any rumors or ideas about whats keeping them up?
That means it's cemented, right?not really. As far as we know, they finished the on-site visits last week. Everything should be done. Maybe they just need time now to prepare the material for the presentation in concrete.
When the route designer is just my mom with an outdated road mapI can already see the scenes in May.
"No no, don't worry, just start the stage, we will figure out the finish town in the process"
they'll provide every rider a GPS navigator and they'll just have to follow the instructions...I can already see the scenes in May.

Breakaway battles were never so great.This is the best way to avoid any strike by the riders. Do not tell them how long the stages are. You keep pedalling until you see the finish line.
Luckily the Tour route leaves very little to the imagination of which will suit their riders more.At this point it must be genuinely annoying for the teams though. They will have to make decisions about what riders to send to which race before knowing what's awaiting those riders. This just shouldn't happen.
I doubt they don't have at least a general idea of the route. I mean, we have it too. I'm sure RCS shared at least some detail with them.At this point it must be genuinely annoying for the teams though.

Does that leave Eshnar with enough time for route thread?Apparently, RCS and RAI have finally closed the deal and the presentation will be on Wed 24th at 16:00.
Still not official though.
Maybe. Does that leave you enough time to complain about the route?Does that leave Eshnar with enough time for route thread?
