Well thanks to the old style first week, every sprinter and his dog will be doing the Tour it seems. Could make for more chaotic finishes then usuual.
Yeah I have to agree with this, I think they've done a pretty good job of the first week considering the part of France they go through. Just disappointing there's no cobble stage.I don't think 5 uphill finishes in the first 10 days makes it a very 'old style' or 'sprinter friendly' first week...
A threshold too high for Chambéry, Troyes, Quimper, Bourges, Colmar, Ajaccio, Calais, Cannes, Pau, La Rochelle, Béziers, Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, Dunkirk, Poitiers, Avignon and Roubaix. Just to point out that it excludes a lot of towns.What would be the best hilly finishes inside a town?
I would say a minimum of 100 000 inhabitants required.
