You guys always want more lol. Those Alps rumours sound great! And 3 years since previous Loze is good too (every 3-5 years for a mountain pass is about right). Would Loze stage be before Morzine one?
Regarding ITT's; 70kms? Let's dream of just a 50km length first. As suggested, a long (or longer) ITT is preferred mid race, stage 10 after the rest day is good, also as they don't seem to like breaking up the mountain blocks with a rest day (I think they should for the racing side of things, but maybe logistically this is too difficult, need a city to spend a rest day rather than alpine resort?). With second ITT, could be a MTT around stage 16-17 to begin the final mountain block. If it's the traditional stage 20, then flat and long won't work these days because it nullifies the racing before it too much (whereas in the Armstrong era they tended to have non GC days Friday, Thursday, even Wednesday too, so why not 50-55 kms?). Maybe 20-25 kms rolling ITT, which is a Pogacar trying to have your cake and eat it too, potentially still decisive, but not too intimidating to negate attacking racing on stage 19. I like the idea of big mountains around 8-10, 14-16, then Voges (as has been suggested) 18-19 (taking a little from some recent Vuelta's). Even PDBF could work well stage 18, then multi mountain long range attack potential stage 19 (or 19 and 20 if final ITT is beforehand).
