Not many. We have some rumours but nowhere near as much as we used to have at this time of the year. The route will be presented late for sure.No more rumours here so far? @Eshnar?
Hell yeah!!!- It has been proposed a mountain stage with Passo Cuvignone Alpe di Neggia and uphill finish in Passo Forcora. Alpe di Neggia i think is in Switzerland and it's a tremendous climb.
This would be very nice!Passo Cuvignone Alpe di Neggia and uphill finish in Passo Forcora
Turin would be great if they did the same or something similar as 2022. Zoncolan is a bit more "meh".......there should be the return of the Zoncolan and also a stage in Turin.
Where is this? I know where Alleghe is, but not this place.Valvisvende
Val Visdende is just northwest of Sappada but on the Belluno side of the border. You would do the 2018 finale, but then when you exit the descent of Costalissoio it would only be 3.2k of the main road towards Sappada before hitting the climb below. This assumes they don't use the very narrow and partially unpaved Forcella di Zovo, which was also rumoured for the 2018 stage but is IMO a big ask.Where is this?

Thanks! Found it now. Certainly not the biggest of places. Same with Piani di Pezze above Alleghe.Val Visdende is just northwest of Sappada but on the Belluno side of the border.

Start in Bulgaria is nice. Sofia ITT as a guess?
So no sprinter in Pink at all. At least we had Mads in it for a day this year hahaFrom what I read in the Bulgarian media, the 3 stages are reported to be:
Stage 1: Burgas - Veliko Tarnovo. There are decent hills around Tarnovo and you should be able to do a nice stage if you want, but the distance between both cities is over 200km, so they probably won't have much of a freedom.
Stage 2: Veliko Tarnovo - Plovdiv. I have no idea what they'll do, but they have to cross the mountains so it shouldn't be bunch sprint.
Stage 3: Plovdiv - Sofia. Given the expected transfer on the next day, this could be a bunch sprint
