Tour de France 2021 route rumors

[Netserk]

As expected for stage 6:

 

[Red Rick]

What's the final mountain stage?

 

[Netserk]

Tourmalet and Luz.

 

[Red Rick]

Tourmalet and Luz.

Meh.

 

[Netserk]

But it's 130 km, so it will be action packed!

 

[roundabout]

As expected for stage 6:

also 230k

 

[Devil's Elbow]

also 230k

Conveniently placed right before the Alps so that they can 'prove' long stages are bad.

 

[Red Rick]

But it's 130 km, so it will be action packed!

Well they've made it so that it's not on my top 95 list of terrible things about this route.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

58 km of ITT. Could have that in one stage and then a good old prologue as well. Meh.

Bavarianrider when looking at this...

 

[Mayomaniac]

Look, we are so progessive, we even let Women ride the super hard Mur de Bretagne stage.

 

[Max Rockatansky]

also 230k

248k. The climb is at 18k to go.

It will be the longest stage in 21 years.

 

[Mayomaniac]

Signal d'uchon on the 248km long stage 7 is actually nice.

 

[Red Rick]

Lol I thought it was a hilltop finish. It's okay, but if it's before the Alps nothing will happen but Van Aert sprint leadout.

This is what, 4 legit HC climbs in the entire Tour?

 

[Netserk]

Pré will also be HC.

 

[Red Rick]

Pré will also be HC.

I said legit HC climbs.

 

[Bavarianrider]

Bavarianrider when looking at this...

Well that IS what todays snowflake metrosexual Riders and Fans want. May they have their ways. I dont Care anymore about this *** Show.

 

[Billie]

Puymorens and Envalira will also be cominbed into one HC climb I guess to make the Souvenir Henri Desgranges HC.

 

[Netserk]

Pré is legit, if borderline.

 

[(F)lexer]

maaaaan this route kinda sucks

 

[houtdffan]

No Bales?

 

[houtdffan]

why no aspin before Tourmalet?

 

[OlavEH]

The Alps are really underwhelming. The rest is okay. A doble Ventoux is great and the Pyrenees is perhaps a little notch better than usual, but there is so much more potential in the Alps. Especially the Tignes stage is stage design without the tiniest fraction of imagination.....

 

[Mayomaniac]

At least there is a decent first week ITT and overall a decent amount of kms of ITT for a modern Tour. The Ventoux stage is cool, I'll give them that.

 

[Netserk]

why no aspin before Tourmalet?

That would be inhuman.

 

[Devil's Elbow]

No Bales?
