Its a good route for Froome to get his 5th jersey.

I like it already. No Prologue TT --- which, IMO, makes the first week's racing MUCH more exciting.

I like having the Pyranees after the Alps followed by a TT. There may be some fireworks.

The cobbled section may make a difference for the Sky Train. They'll have to bring some of their Classics guys to try and keep Froome out of trouble. Stannard and Moscon may suffer a bit in the mountains and may not be able to add much.

It'll be interesting to see what mix of riders they bring.

Maybe Nibali can pull another Tour victory out?

Did you watch the Vualta Moscon was a monster in the mountains.

Along with this, it's going to be interesting to see what impact (if any) the reduction in team size has on Sky's tactics.

Enough TT distance for Dumoulin to make a dent, or nah?

I guess they decided to stay away from the interior of France. Everything seems to be near the borders.

I wonder who we'll see line up in Compiègne next April, may be some interesting faces.

I still think this will be Tom Dumoulin's tour. But Quintana will be super motivated.
