Probably not, but we'll try. The Tour de France has a conspicuous absence of summit finishes. Not none, but far fewer than we have come to expect in recent years.

Stage 18, the climbers' last hurrah, is a beast. Any rider lacking confidence in their aero is going to have their eyes on the very last climb of the race, the 13 kilometre Luz Ardiden.

It won't be where the Tour de France is won, but it could be where it's lost. Phew, that sure sounds like a lot of climbing. Anything for the speedy bois?

Firstly, does anyone really say "phew" or is it something that's just written for comedic effect? Secondly, "speedy bois"? If you mean the sprinters, it's hard to say at this point.

Best of three, then? Egan Bernal remains a question mark. What do you say, Dave? One last shot at the belt for the Brit?

Do we already know exactly the roads of this stage? No more details than the picture of the map at the top, which if you look shows the race heads north in order to then take in more of the Morvan hills as it runs south to Uchon.

Thanks for the great summon on the upcoming TdF route. I like it that there are more TT kms in it again. Another question: Is there something like a heatmap of the roads that the tour has been using ever since?

There is an interactive map by LeMonde, that shows which departements were used the most, you can choose the time frame.

More TT km now that Froome is out of the picture. The route planners seemed to be doing their best to stop a Sky procession for most of the past decade.

I think the organisers design the route far enough in advance that responding to individual form or circumstance is out of the question.

Personal preference would be for at least one full on mountain epic, a la the Stelvio stage in the Giro this year. Having higher and harder summit finishes only serves to slim down the potential winners to the climbers.

It seems the French have given up on Pinot being a yellow jersey contender. These conspiracy theories never quite stand up, eg the pro Bardet route has a giant team time trial etc.

ASO might quite like a French winner but they really want a contest, the Tour has a big audience in France and a part of this depends on French success although millions tune in for the scenery too but audiences around the world drop off if the contest gets boring.

TV is responsible for a lot of the route design today. Allaphillipe is, Bardet never really was. Or at least his talents were not specific enough to have a route tailored to him and him alone.

Allaphillipe does. And the route has been trending this way anyway. A happy not-really-coincidence. The time trials are flat when he likes climbs he can attack, there are several long climbs like Tignes, Ventoux, Tourmalet, Luz Ardiden.

Just look at Almeida at the Giro. And Alaphilippe himself at the Tour. It seems a suitable route for Tom of Hackney or Thomas of Gwent but with several stages likely for a breakaway by Thomas of Ghent.

Especially moved by his post about photographer Tao who was fighting cancer and their friendship over the years. Incidentally, a Chinese friend not that much into road racing inquired if he had any Chinese ancestry.

To which I can only point him to babynames. The Envalira was definitely paved last time I rode over it.

All those downhill finishes. Even the first 2 stages are puncheur ones. Get him in yellow early on, set him up for stage wins…and who knows what else?

This is the big one. Max Hirschi calling. Seriously though he should focus on becoming a classics legend. Hopefully a good mix of stages with sprints, mountains etc and a nice way to beat the post-Tour blues.

Not sure what the point is here, this is an old tabloid article that clearly is no longer pertinent.

The start of the Tour in Denmark would have made it impossible to ride both the Tour and the Olympics in , because the Tour start date was pushed back to accommodate the Euro football cup in Denmark.

But the Tour starts from Brittany now, and a week earlier, so the same calendar as we have every 4 years. I think they looked at it but presumably the idea of sending the peloton down these tracks on the opening days was too much, can already see some teams and riders protesting.

That is a wicked fast descent. And doing it twice? The drop to Malaucene may not require too many touches to the brakes for most of the pros.
