Thanks @Netserk - should've mentioned that's the best I could find too (now years ago).
I think it's now up to my memory to try and memorize the noted locations. On the day I remember heading for a roundabout - but since France was frontrunner in roundabouts by the time already and besides landscapes has changed landslide-wise since due to highways, new establisments and everything the picture gets messy and shady.
But thanks for reminding me the list of points. It's a bit of a pity I've lost my original local 1:25.000 Michelin card by then where I made a few sketches and notes as co-driver for my dad.

But thanks alot for the try!

Speaking of which, does anyone know when and where to by the official road book for the 2025 Tour after the route is announced later this year?

The road book for 2025 is only released shortly before the start of the Tour. You can probably download it some time June 2025.

I'm still upset about Bauer/Elmiger getting mugged

Did you guys know he used to be a footballer???

Really?!? But hey, ever heard of a cyclist who used to be a ski jumper? True story!

 

[Valv.Piti]

Oh, smaller crap teams are complaining again about breakaways, but Uno-X apparantly believes Kristoff can win again.

 

[RobertCrawley]

Ha ha. A sign that read, "The attack of Pierre Rolland."

 

[Brullnux]

Cuttin down these sprint stages would just make the Tour even harder, there's no way riders want that.

One of the issues today is that the next two days are very breakaway friendly, this is the last sprinter's day of the tour, and it's come after a rest day so the teams are relatively fresh. 38kmh without a break is a bit of a joke, though. Surely a sponsor or two would like to see their jersey up the road?

Has there been a Didi sighting during this Tour? If there has been I'm sorry I missed it.

I've seen him twice but he's lost some of his vertical jump. The last I heard, he has a sponsor or sponsors. Glad he's still at it.

There has. He's easier to spot than Wally/Waldo (lovely that he's still around).

Cornfields, vineyards... now I just needs some sunflower fields to complete the trifecta.

He lost a bet!

The tour le France has to be the worst race in cycling. Can't wait for prueba villafranca and San Sebastian.

 

[Miha81]

Cold sore on Remco, he's stressing. No cold sore on Pogi, he's not stressing.

It always signals sickness for me. Usually have them few days prior.

The beak is back!
