I see some suggestions they are going slow so that some riders aren't disqualified because of the time limit at the end of the stage. Hope that's not the case because that is something the race jury could easily handle with a bit of leniency.

Then whar are they going to do in the much more difficult stages to Val Martello and Tre Cime?

I have long advocated putting Angelo in charge of the Tour now that we no longer get his madness in Il Giro.

That's puny for a Zomegnan course. An Alpe d'Huez finish? Why, that's fully tarmacked, averages under 9% and doesn't go over 42% at any point!

He'd make them climb through Alpe d'Huez and finish at Lac Bresson, at the very least.

couldn't find any better stage profile with the galibier in it.

Maybe it says something about my searching skills or maybe something about the ASO :eek:
