Undecided between 5 and 6. I'll work that out.
edit: I'll go for 6. Very good first half, horrible, horrible... most horrible second half.

Netserk said:It would have been much better if stage 1 was a 15-20km ITT, better Alpes and longer and better Pyrenees.
Ferminal said:Same as the Giro I guess, five sprints in the first week is a bit much despite the fact the first ten days are probably the most interesting. One of 1, 3, 4, 6, 7 should have been a TT.
Perhaps the same finish as in 2005?Flamin said:Stage 7 has a 1 km hill @ 8% or something like that at 5km from the finish, so not just a regular sprint. At least, according to the Eurosport guy.
Says more about your memory than it says about other people....Ryo Hazuki said:how people can rate this a 6 or a 7 goes beyond me. best course I can remember

Sleimas said:Is it possible that some of the stages which profiles were not unveiled yet might be hilly? Or should we assume that they're flat?
