BigMac said:Hard route. Again, lots of candidates for the win. Sprint stages should be better distributed. Two MTF's in a row is an absolute killer.
Hoping for a Verbier '12 Déjà vu.
Gotthard so early in the stage should also mean we won't have live images of it being climbed, which is a shame, not for the action but for the scenary. There's really nothing like a Swiss landscape.
You'll have stage 9 for the scenery.
