I can't really understand the monaco route, so will the prologue be on some roads of the F1 Grand Prix??
This will be great to watch  |

Tour presentation on Wednesday, that means we'll know the full leaked route on Tuesday, maybe Monday.
Giro and Vuelta presentations are usually a little more than a month after the Tour's presentation. They're usually very close together. No chance of leaks of those routes unless the organizers themselves spew something.
As for any other races, it'll be months before we know the routes. |

I'm looking forward to the prologue so much. It will be quite strange to watch the riders on the F1 track. Prudhomme's routes for both this year and last year were great, so I expect this one should be interesting too, especially if Mont Ventoux is indeed included |

I was wondering: Is there any reason why the TdF route is presented before the Giro? |

Deadpool ranks only slightly higher than the sight of a TT'er riding down the Casino Square and through the down u-turn thingy in Monaco. And that ranks pretty high right now.
