Stage 5: Contres - Limoges
The stage looks not that difficult, but especially the last 30-40kms will hurt some sprinters! Two categorized climbs (4th cat) and a short, but steep climb 2km before finish will give some puncheurs the chance, to take a stage-win! We won't see any gaps here, but it's the first flat stage, which isn't that perfect for a typical mass-sprint.. and tomorrow we will see the first 'real' hills..

Spoiler Several riders attack 3km before finish.. 
And the final 'climb'..
The late attack was succesfull! EBH wins..

Thanks, Pellizotti2 and VladuuTs!
Stage 6: Limoges - Aurillac
This is definitely the most interesting stage so far! A quite hilly stage with a short, but difficult climb to 'La Roche Noire' (5kms, 7% average slope) 30km before finish in Aurillac. It's a perfect stage for the puncheurs and the GC-contenders might allow some late attacks by guys like.. let's say Voeckler  The peloton will also split for the first time in this TdF, that's for sure.

Spoiler Voeckler with a late attack..
And he wins the stage.. 40 riders in the pack, sprinting for 2nd place!

Thanks, baia!
Stage 7: Aurillac - Lavaur
Another flat stage before the first mountain-stage tomorrow! It's not a too easy profile today, with some hillier parts in the middle of the stage. Though the sprinter-teams may go for another mass-sprints, it's also possible, that a breakaway of riders, who lost time on yesterday's stage, will make it. May depend, on how succesfull several top-sprinters had been so far..

Thanks, baia and VladuuTs! And, baia: here's the first mountain-stage!
Note: I had some problems with this stage, but finally could solve it. The slopes might look not that perfect, but it's still good gameplay imo
Stage 8: Saint-Lys - Superbagnères
Time for the mountains, time for the pyrenees! The first of three consecutive mountain-stages finishes at Superbagnères - and the GC-favourites have to show, if they're in shape. The first half of the stage is completey flat, until the riders face the 'Port de Balès' as the first real mountain in this tour. But will the favourites attack that early? Tomorrow's stage will be even shorter.. but it will also feature way more climbs!

Evans wins..

Thanks, VladuuTs!
@FreitasPCM: Yes, there will be a Tourmalet in this variant, too! But with a MTF and from the other side than kissaha did, if I remember correctly

Stage 9: Bagnères-de-Luchon - Col de Portet
112kms.. it sounds not that hard.. but if you have a look at the profile, you will know, that this stage may the this tour's queen-stage! The weaker climbers (Cav?) will have to fight hard to stay in the time-limit, as the pace may be high due to the shortness of the stage.. Highlights in this stage will be the following mountains (in order of appearance): Col du Peyresourde, Col d'Azet, Col d'Aspin, Hourquette d'Ancizan and - of course - the final climb to Col de Portet, with a gravel-section on final 6-7kms!

@HuDCC: Thank you very much! Glad you like it  It's definitely not an easy Tour, but I think (and hope) it's not too hard with 5 summit-finishes. I tried to find the right mix.
@Pellizotti2: Thank you very much! Always nice to read comments like this from the best stagemakers out here
@baia: Thanks! Well, it's not up to me, wether it's in the DB or not
Stage 10: Saint-Lary-Soulan - Col du Tourmalet
The riders had a well deserved rest day after the first two mountain-stages in the Pyrenees, but now it's again a tough mountain-stage! The famous Col du Tourmalet is today's finish and it's most probably a day for the top-favourites. The first climb is (like yesterday) the Hourquette d'Ancizan, but this time from the other side. The pack won't split too much on that early climb and the stage is completely flat until Tourmalet.

Finish.. Schleck wins!

Stage 11: Tarbes - Tarascon-sur-Ariège
After three hard mountain-stages, the things will become 'easier' now. But we're still in the Pyrenees and this 11th stage is definitely not easy. It's a long stage and the two climbs (Col de Latrape and Col d'Agnes) will split the peloton. It's unlikely that some of the GC-favourites will gain some time here and you may - again - bet on some puncheurs going for a stage!

Voeckler wins with a late attack!
