But the problem may be that there's only one road to the top of the Alpe d'Huez, so there's no way to get down again. Not entirely sure but I've never seen the Alpe d'Huez halfway a stage, only as a finish, so someone will have to make a fake route.

You can actually take the route to the Col de Sarenne if you don't climb until the very top of it. It wouldn't be a fake route because the road exists but I don't think it has been used in a pro cycling race.
I've cycled the Alpe d'Huez previous year, and I saw that there are 2 ways down, The mountain and then.... (NOTE: I CANT REALLY EXPLAIN IT ANYMORE) some sort of road to the downhill, it was a very narrow road, you can't ride with a car there, further you can, and park there, and then downhill
That's the one we've cycled last year in the Alpe d'HuZes-race. Most of the riders only achieved to do 3 or 4 times, so that was my idea. But for a WT-race it could be 6 either.
Well I think you better talk directly with a stage maker which has already make the Alpe d'Huez. Also if you have any idea of how the stage editor works (and even if you don't it should be too hard), you could try to create your route with Emmea's Kit Alpino, which includes both the Alpe and the Sarenne (and a bunch of other climbs if you want to include them).
