It will be interesting, hopefully it won't create too big gaps though 
Oh, and let's celebrate this:   |

Route sounds nice... I'm not even CT, but still I can't wait to see the full route...
But can't wait for next stages of TDU either. NP, I guess I can wait until tomorrow

8 countries;        
2 ITT's, 1 TTT and 1MTT
7 flat stages, 3 hilly stages, 7 mountains stages (4 summit finishes)
Longest stage 204km, shortest 90km(ish)

Sounds really good - looking forward to seeing all those mountain stages... if only I had the team who could possibly do well on them...

Missed the boat a bit, but still I think my 2 cents worth are welcome. I would've suggested a BeNeLux GT, as they are the next pretegious cycling countries not to have a GT. But your one looks good Manx, looking forward to the 4 Mountain top finishes |

I think that the BeNeLux GT isn't a good idea, I think that the CT GT should be in countries where the GT's almost never come and Belquim and The Netherlands appeared frequently in GT the last 3 years

BeNeLux doesnt have any mountains. Would have to pass the Cauberg 100times in a row
The CT GT will take place whereever i want to make it take place
Oh, and both Switzerland and Italy appear regularly in GT's

Not big mountains, large hills at best.
And that is Leichtenstein. Stage finish in Vaduz.

True. I was just thinking from a cycling nation size sort of way. And I think Luxembourg does have mountains... Where would the Schelcks have training then? But yeah, I do like the idea of a multi nation GT |
