    Only one TT and it's 36km on La Planche des Belles Fille :D

    It looks like a lovely route for the eyes too with plenty of time spent in Massif Central, my favorite part of France.

    Not to mention the number of times we are going to hear about Priimoz Roglic's former profession as they pass the Albertville Ski Jump in Courcheval

    Did he do something before cycling?

    A couple of stage start/finishes about an hour/2 hours from were we usually go on holidays. Must get planning!

    Great to see Port de Bales back on the route. A lovely climb made famous by Schleck / Contador and “chaingate” when used back in 2010. Climbed it myself later that Summer. The climb from the valley over the summit and descent to Bagneres-de-Luchon is stunning.

    Or the lovely race organisers in Thibaut's case.

    Would've been the same, only for the bloody Olympics and it being a week early!

    Committed before the route was announced, so based on some of the rumours (which were way off), it was to be earlier on for where we are going.

    For a while there I thought his forename was "Former Ski-Jumper".
