    About 40KM/h, or 25mph

    In the procycling programme (I think - or else in the C+ supplement) there's a list of all the tours and their average speed. Recent years have been 38-40kph. Back in the days on dirt roads and fewer gears it was <25kph... since then it's increased steadily until reaching and bit of a plateau for the last few years.

    Will be interesting to see whether we continue to see an increase or whether the apparent reduction in doping means a drop...

    Those averages are kind of useless. What would make more sense is to split the times into:

    1. TT avg speed (and this into under 20KM, 21-30KM, 31+ KM)
    2. Speed on the mountains
    3. Speed in sprints

    Anyone know each of these?

    You can see the organisers expectations of every stage by looking at the time schedule:
