Main climbs

 

[The Hitch]

Ax 3 domaix is a vuelta stage.

 

[No_Balls]

There is just one way to describe this.

 

[Ferminal]

****, looks like a Foix-Loop around Bagneres...

 

[Grzdylu]

No Tourmalet

 

[guncha]

Only one real GC meaningful stage in the Pyrenees

I think you were quite excited about Alpes this year, in particular Grand Colombier stage. Why is stage with five climbs and last climb closer to finish less meaningful?

 

[roundabout]

The ITT is way too short. What the hell?

 

[Mellow Velo]

No Tourmalet

No surprise. Been known for a while.
Nice to get a couple of different climbs for a change.

 

[Ferminal]

The ITT is way too short. What the hell?

Shocking, how hard is it to make a normal sized ITT?

 

[guncha]

ITT just 33km? Or did it get it wrong?

 

[luckyboy]

Ax 3 domaix is a vuelta stage.

lol, look at the Ventoux stage

 

[Parrulo]

lol the ventoux stage. . . 220 flat kilometers before ventoux, what a waste of kilometers

 

[burning]

Horrible route in my opinion

 

[Ney the Viking]

So Montoux stage, break will get 30 minutes, favourites will snooze until halfway up the mountain and we will finish at 7pm *zzzzZZzz* ;p

 

[thirteen]

lol the ventoux stage. . . 220 flat kilometers before ventoux, what a waste of kilometers

no sh*t!
10 char

One year they are overdoing ITT and forgetting about mountains, next year forgetting that ITT is a part of TDF...

 

[The Blues]

It sucks that they are not showing the profile of every stage instead of this.

 

[thrawn]

242km to Ventoux should hurt still... shame there aren't any proper climbs around it. Maybe they should try and make a descent so they can do a loop of Ventoux

 

[The Hitch]

Was thinking the same.

 

[burning]

In 2009, there were at least some climbs before Ventoux, this year it is like

There will be a 2nd one of 40k so its still good.

 

[Ney the Viking]

A breakaway stage to Gap! We have never seen that before have we?
