ASO announces the Butte Montmartre in the final stage of the 2015 Tour de France

[Linkinito]

As a 2nd category climb (1.3 km @ 4.2 %). Normally a 4C climb but overrated on purpose to give a final fight for the polka dot jersey.

Why was this an april fool :-( Could have made the final stage soooo much better.

(EDIT : Also in general news thread.)

ASO getting creative. Not a bad addition IMO but the cat 2 rating is foolish. All in all should add a bit of spice to the final stage.

Okay so it is April 1; I get it now.

Aren't aprils fools supposed to be funny?

This is neither funny, nor is it something that would be totally mind blowing.

Lamest aprils fool i've come across in my lifetime.

Frenchmen

Nah, at least make it somewhat believable with something like 2x Peyresourde on the same day.

That's ASO for you, they make jokes like they make routes.

I'd prefer the Col du Tour Eiffel.
