Andy Schleck not invited on stage?

Didn't race this season...and possibly because they said they had the last two winners...saying Andy was the previous one might have upset Bertie, so what they guy got popped and didn't Prudhomme say something about that group/association that refused to hire racers who got more than a 6 month penalty...and then you have Bertie on stage, WTF ?! Business of course, like when they let Armstrong back. ASO are just as bad as the UCI really.

Uh, I care. That's obviously why I posted. And a majority of the French cycling fans probably care as well.
There was more than enough stages for French breakway this year...
Besides they finished at Luz Ardiden on Bastille day of 2011. With Hautacam of TDF 08 it will be 3rd time in 6 years they have MTF on Bastille day...

I think it is a pretty good route for the tour.
Some of you guys are never ever satisfied with the parcours anyway:rolleyes:

Eh... I assume you mean the last two winners of the Tour. That... would be Wiggins and Evans.

And I think that that's a mistake. That they've had 3 MTFs in 6 year's Bastille Day's doesn't make it any less of a mistake in my book.

Tony never ever would have a chance for GC, I don't get why you still complain so much about the route.

It ain't that bad, surely? In saying that, I have not closely looked at the route.

Is it that bad? At a first glance, it looks far better than this years route.
