I'm torn between 5 or 6 of 10, but end up in 5 . It's just too lame to rate it higher.
+++ Granon and the Aubisque-Spandelles-Hautacam combo
++ Few sprint finishes. That's always a plus
+Stage 6 and partly 8 and 9 have okay finishes
+Cobbled stage, although this is also a risk
--- A complete lack of stages designed for attack further out than a few kms from the stage finish.
-- The sequence of the mountain stages are just plain wrong, especially in the Pyrenees.
-- The high mountain stages are just too short. Coudn't they cough up at lest one or two over 200 km.
-- The Megeve stage is just a complete waste.
-- Again PDBF, Alpe and Peyragudes. I can understand using Alpe d'Huez once every 3 or 4 years, but not the two other.
-And again a lack of long and tough medium mountain stages.
-Not many chances for good breakways.
