Almost feels more like a Giro della Valle d'Aosta stage.San Carlo, PSB and Rosier is better than anything the TdF has designed since the Petulan Whiners United manifesto
2003 Tour.Don't think I've ever seen a stage race before that has two stages finishing in the same town this many days apart.
I think you might have missed the last 4 words in Devil's Elbow's sentence.Saint-Dizier is, though.
Finish town of both stage 3 and stage 4 in 2003.

How on earth is the Valle d'Aosta consistently getting better stages in junior races than in GTs...San Carlo, PSB and Rosier is better than anything the TdF has designed since the Petulan Whiners United manifesto
Guess for GTs it's bigger ski stations with bigger flatter climbs piling in the money? At least in some cases, but I think Champoluc was always gonna deliver a bad race because even Tzecore would have been 3 climbs out. The one time the Giro decided to go near Colle San Carlo it dit take it.How on earth is the Valle d'Aosta consistently getting better stages in junior races than in GTs...
By the way, the alimetry had me very confused cause La Thuile is at 1400m altitude so it made me thin they do a lot more climber after CSC than they actually do.I missed that the Tour de l'Avenir route was presented last week. It's great!
