Watching Anthony Turgis enter the scene, was like watching a young Dave Gahan.
Pog looked so awkward!
The descent from Col de Saises isn't too difficult? At it would mean 10-12 km of flat before the last ascent to Megeve airport. If used, it should be one of the last (or very last) mountain stage where riders are often more "forced" to attack than earlier in the race.Talking about good enchainments, what about montee de bisane and then megeve altiport?
It would be perfect for a long attack.
The problem is the next 2 hard stages that can neutralize this stage.
Yeah and someone from South Tyrol has even won it back in the day...Prudhomme trying his hardest to pretend a women's Tour de France has never existed in the past.
It's either this or pretending like they didn't happen, which would have been worse.They're now presenting the crash fest of this year's Brittany stages as a triumph?
It's the version with the stupid gravel ramp used in 2019 on top of the regular climb.What is La Super Planche and why it seems even more despicable than the Not Super Planche?
They know their audience.So they're giving us the crashes to have something to complain before the route is shown?
Womens route looks pretty okay to me, apart from that it could've used a 20km ITT in there. 175km stage must be among the longer races on the womens calendar right?
Wonder if we'll ever see Le Markstein in the men's race. The section we see in the middle of that stage in the women's race (Petit Ballon - Platzerasel - Le Markstein) preceeded by perhaps 5-6 more cat 2 climbs, could be a great medium mountain stage in the men's race.Women's race:
