Its early, but what the hell:
P. Mauren (LI) - Ruggell (LI) 7.8 km (ITT)
1. Davos - Davos 150 km
2. Davos - Lumino 195 km
3. Biasca - Stäfa 197 km
4. Stäfa - Serfaus (A) 202 km
5. Oberriet / SG - Bad Zurzach 178 km
6. Bad Zurzach - Vallorbe Juraparc 204 km
7. Le Sentier - Crans-Montana 182 km
8. Bern - Bern 39 km (ITT)
Why did Isso say the route sucked? I count 4 uphill finishes and in total 5 mountain stages  |

This route is veeeeery different from the one I saw about a month ago.
(I can't tell you where I saw it, so that should give you an idea where I saw it)

Doesn't look too bad actually.
2 good routes (Dauphiné and Suisse)
And Ruben, it's not too early, we've had a TDF thread for a few weeks now

Beware though that the finishing climbs on all these stages are not very selective. The time trial will be the decider.

You also said that time differences at Blockhaus would be unlikely. I don't trust your expert analysises anymore

But in the GC, (talking about podium placers) there was only 48 seconds of separation, and only 5 between Di Luca and Menchov. So there are some time gaps, but not necessarily a "decisive" stage.  |

That was said when the organisers had confirmed that the climb would be the Passo Lanciano.....which it didn't end up being.

This route isn't that selective. Even Kloeden on form can hold on Vallorbe, Serfaus and Crans.
Kreuziger ftw |
