I've come up with my prediction for the final route here: https://www.la-flamme-rouge.eu/maps/tours/view/16306
It needs some refining as it is too long (over 3600km) and some stages are less practical than I would like. Examples are like stage 9 where I didn't need to put in the ascent to Arc 1800 so that could be removed. I also made some assumptions:
-Stage 8 to start in oyonnax which I now question, and that they won't follow the same finish climb sequence as in 2018.
-We finish and rest in Tignes.
-Granon is used over the Alpe which I would deem unlikely
-We go over col de menee on stage 11 otherwise we basically follow 2020 stage 5's route.
-We go over the Pic de Nore to Carcassonne just like 2018.
-We don't visit Andorra
-We get one of those weird stages with mountain passes in the middle to Pau.
-Given I only had 1 descent finish mountain stage up until the pyrenees I chose iraty over a MTF at Luz Ardiden, favouring a finish in Lourdes of the Col des Spandelles.
-My final TT is kind of random, I would change it now so that we start going towards Castillon-la-Bataille then head towards St Emilion.
