    Which teams are guaranteed entry next year as per the peace agreement? I remember ASO saying they'd honour Cofidis and Bbox's places despite losing their ProTour licences.

    Anyone know where highlights/reshowing of this will be available tonight for those idiots who meant to set the digibox to record this before heading off to work but somehow managed to forget. :oops:

    Eurosport's recap at 4.30pm isn't particularly well timed for those who missed the 11am programme. Who is it aimed at? Shift workers?

    No Arenberg section but they will use cobbled sections earlier in the stage.

    He just said Beloki's 2003 crash was a great moment in the history of the Tour and great TV :shock:

    Three days (ok more like a week) campervaning at the top of the Tourmalet for me with the Etape on the 18th July.

    Haha just the one TT, excellent. Be even better if they got rid of that too and just had a Prologue :wink:

    I know I shouldn't start complaining already, but I can see that first Tourmalet stage being a bore, as there's hell of a long run into Pau off the final climb. Tres excitent!

    No team time trial is excellent for Contador considering he may well still be with a weak Astana team.

    :shock:

    What a profile.

    I'm chuffed to bits because they're donig an awful lot of the mountains I rode this summer in the Pyrenees.

    But with a nasty cobbled section in week one too! To punish the climbers long before they get there. Nice.

    Could do with maybe one bigger mountain top finish before the Tourmalet, but it'd probably be too far in the climbers' favour then.
    Note: the above post is an opinion and not fact. It might be a lie.

    Stage 1 looks a bit exposed...could be interesting if there's a brisk westerly wind blowing.

    Cavendish on Eurospoilsport reckoned he was in with a shout in 5 stages, maybe 8. Looks like they want to make the green jersey a bit more open? Seems to favour Hushovd.

    Glad they got rid of the TTT again, and pleased that there's only one long TT... although I would have preferred the TT halfway through the last week and a mountain finish on the Saturday like last year.

    BTW, I think that was the infamous JC doing the interviews. Bruyneel looked pissed off just being there.

    Am I the only one who thinks it a another naf route?
    Sacrifice the trialing and the mountains have to be watered down.
    In with St J du M and out with Floyd's graveyard.
    Lots of Cav stages.
    Much ado about the Tourmalet, or nothing.

    Thank goodness the Giro route is out in 10 days.

    I'm sitting on the fence at the moment not sure if I think it's a cracker or not. Definately a couple of belting stages in there mind you.

    No Carla, therefore it's about as impressive as having lunch with me.
