Pyrinees and Asturias will return to Vuelta route in 2010. Andorra will have at least one stage (probably La Rabassa again) and in Asturias rumours say there won't be Angliru this year. Probably Lagos de Covadonga and Cotobello will be the top finishes.
All people from Spain are expecting that Puerto de Ancares will be included too. Probably the hardest col in Spain, with 4 different sides to be climbed, all of them HC. Angliru is harder but it only could be stage finish, because there is only one road to the top. |

But the Tour site actually has a professional translator translating 
Far better IMHO

Hint to the Rotterdam representative talking for 10 minutes about the city: NOBODY CARES. MOVE ON.

As expected it's the 2009 route without the TTT and with the alps and pyrenees switched. So while 2009 was all about the TTT + the third week
This one is ONLY about the third week. Wow it's going to be a boring first two weeks.

I thought they learned in 2005 (or was it 06?) that cobbles is a bad idea?

04.
I think cobbles is a great idea. Can really take out some of the favourites.

Stage 9 doesn't look bad either.
14th stage also with a mountain finish.

Prologue: Rotterdam
Stage 1 : Rotterdam - Bruxelles
Stage 2 : Bruxelles - Spa. A couple of LBL climbs. Nothing too hard.
Stage 3 : Wanze - Arenberg Porte du Hainaut. 4 easy pavé sections totalling 13.3kms. Past experience shows us this tends to cause crashes and kill the GC excitement because people lose time for no reason that later renders them completely out of the GC.
Stage 4 : Cambrai - Reims. Shortest stage other than the final one.
Stage 5 : Épernay - Montargis
Stage 6 : Montargis - Gueugnon
Stage 7 : Tournus - Station des Rousses. First climbs in the Jura.
Stage 8 : Station des Rousses - Morzine-Avoriaz. Mountain finish with 2 first category climbs: The Col la Ramaz just before the finish, the small third category Les Gets and and the finishing cat. 1climb.
Stage 9 : Morzine - Saint-Jean de Maurienne. Several hard climbs, the Colombiére, Aravis, Saisies, Madeleine but then the long descent to the finish. Contenders likely all together at the finish as usual when the Tour goes through here.
Stage 10 : Chambéry - Gap. Tricky stage. Not any hard climbs, but a likely place for screwy attacks and nervous and exciting tactics. As usual when the Tour goes through here.
Stage 11 : Sisteron - Bourg-lès-Valence
Stage 12 : Rattel - Mende. La Croix-neuf. Basically the typical troublesome massif central stage.
Stage 13 : Rodez - Revel
Stage 14 : Revel - Ax3 Domaines sky resort. Port de Pailhéres (probably the hardest climb of this Tour) + the finishing climb to AX3. Expect decent sized time gaps.
Stage 15 : Pamiers - Bagnéres de Luchon. Portet d'Aspet, Ares, Port de Balès and downhill to the finish. Only the Balès is a major climb.
Stage 16 : Bagnéres de Luchon - Pau. Tourmalet (La Mongie side), Aubisque, then 60kms to the finish. Don't expect time gaps.
Stage 17 : Pau - Tourmalet. Marie-Blanque, Soulor, finish on the Tourmalet. Queen stage.
Stage 18 : Salies de Bearin - Bordeaux
Stage 19 : Bordeaux - Paulliac ITT (51 kms)
Stage 20 : Longjumeau - Paris
