Etape Entry Question

From browsing old threads and the websites, it looks like the etape entry timetable looks like this:

Entry only through UK package company - Autumn, soon after the route is announced
Entry through Velo magazine lottery - late January/early February

Is this right? Does this mean that if I wait and do the velo magazine lottery (I have a French address) and lose, I will be too late to get an entry only place in the UK?

Your experience and expertise would be welcomed Etape veterans!

    You should still be able to buy an entry through a tour company if you don't get one in France. I've seen companies still advertising in June.
