Route Summary

One short time trial stage and six summit finishes make this one for the climbers. The race starts with mini-version of the spring classics crammed into one week with wind-ravaged roads, cobbles, sharp uphill finishes.

All this action means there are relatively few stages for the sprinters, probably just five in the whole race. The Alps and Pyrenees are both raced hard with the Alps having four consecutive days of racing with the crowded Alpe d’Huez climax.

Stage 1 – Saturday 4 July

Your country is beautiful. Tour de France is the best of the 3 tours. I love the way French do things.

But I'll never get over what happened to 7x Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong. The world's bullshit. But with all the links I see from Fred why should I be surprised?

That dickhead Irishman who is head of international cycling even criticized him for cycling in France just before the main event started. If people don't like White hero Lance, don't watch him. France is a big fucking place!

Other people were taking drug enhancements, why pick on Lance only?
