Strong rumours from a reliable source, the newspaper Dauphine Libere, that the Etape du Tour 2011 will be either a stage finishing on Alpe d'Huez (from Modane via the Col du Galibier) or Pinerolo to the Col du Galibier. The rumoured date/s are 16th or 17th July 2011.
The actual Tour stages are said to be 21st July, Pinerolo - Col du Galibier and 22nd July, Modane - Alpe d'Huez. We have heard from another source that the 23rd will be a rest day.
We'll post more here or on our blog (http://kingofthemountains.blogware.com/blog) if and when we learn more.

A Saturday rest day in the Alps?0

That rest day can't be right as the last stage is on the 24th, unless they are doing a TT on the last day maybe?0

The needs of a TV audience would not support a weekend rest day, I suspect0
