As always great route. A sprinter stage and then four hilly stages, two deciding and two looking a bit meh and then the final 18km time trial. Consistency will win it for good tt'ers here.

Dauphine was revealed today and we know the winner - Wiggins 
Almost 60km of TT in a stage week is way too many, rest of the stages are very nice but the too long TT makes this race one sided.

Hey, you cannot predict the future! What if something bad happens?  (kidding, but yeah, it's indeed a route suited for Wiggins) |

Very much suited to Wiggins, but who knows what will happen. It's always quite a fun race to watch anyway.

It's an improvement, but it will be all about the Mur again I'm afraid.

This will be hard race, it will be interesting who will show up there, when the Tour is on the same time. But nice preparation race for Olympics.

Doubt it (more hope not), they will be sprinting in front of a herd of Elephants, a first for Cycling lol I will do my best to be there, would be a great experience as it will be the first professional I have ever been too

Theres a few worse transfers in there than Stoke to Welshpool!
Its a shame the Caerphilly stage is on a Friday. Weekend and Id have been there for sure, but I probably won't be able to see any of the race this year - having been able to see 4 stages in 2011!
