Prologue : 7k technical course
Stage 1 : 200k Sprinters Stage, flat profile with a few bumps
Stage 2 : 200k Spring Classic Stage, cobbles sectors, narrow roads, ramp finish
Stage 3 : 150k Mid Mtns stage, possible breaks, possible regroup sprint finish
Stage 4 : 220k High Mtns, 4-6 Cat 1-2 climbs, Mtn Top Finish
Stage 5 : 10K Hill Climb TT
Stage 6 : 200k Mid Mtns, climb out of the mountains, long downhill finish
Stage 7 : 180k Rolling, a few lumps near the end, to make the sprinters work for it


What would be your ultimate week long stage race? I'm not a big fan of long flat TT, snooze fest.
