That link suggests they'll be two stages in the South West this year which is good, always been good routes and lots of fans out on the stage in '07 and '08.

Have they released the routes for this year yet? I know there's one in Stoke-on-Trent and Liverpool (I think)

Any proper hilly routes? i;e Lake District, Wales, etc

I'm sure I read in one of those news articles about Norfolk or the South West that the launch was fairly soon, beginning of May iirc.
