Here are some more details of the TdeF from Friday's New York Times. The information is not there explicitly, but I've decoded it from the accompanying map. I don't guarantee it's correctness - anyone with access to hard facts please post. In particular, does anyone have information on which climbs are on which days in the Alps and Pyrenees stages? I suspect some of the details between July 7 and July 12 may not be quite correct. The article had a few inconsistencies in it. July 3 Puy du Fou Prolog July 4 Lucon -> Les Sables d'Olonne July 5 Les Sables d'Olonne -> Vannes July 6 Vannes -> Dinard July 7 Dinard -> Avranches 85km TTT July 8 Avranches -> Evreux July 9 Evreux -> Amiens July 10 Peronne -> Chalons sur Marne July 11 Chalons sur Marne -> Verdun July 12 Verdun -> Lac de Madine 65km ITT July 13 Rest day (air transfer to Grenoble) July 14 Villard de Lans -> Serre Chevalier July 15 Serre Chevalier -> Isola July 16 Isola -> Marseille July 17 Marseille -> Montpelier July 18 Montpelier -> Perpignan July 19 Perpignan -> Andorra July 20 Rest day July 21 Andorra -> St Lary-Soulan July 22 Tarbes -> Pau July 23 Orthez -> Bordeaux July 24 (rail transfer to Bretigny sur Orge) July 24 Bretigny sur Orge -> Montlhery 55km ITT July 25 Viry-Chatillon -> Paris Mountain stages: As best as I can piece together from maps etc. the following climbs will be included. Please correct or add to as soon as more details become available. (btw: a plea for this year's postings - please use kilometers (km) for horizontal distance and meters (m) for vertical height. Real(tm) cyclists are metric.)
