Around SBN: Bill Stewart Dead From Apparent Heart Attack



This is the Tour de France route for 2010 with the tour celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Pyreenes. They climb the Tourmalet twice one on the way to Pau. The other is a mountain top finish. Good Work ASO

Although I find the Tour route good

I believe it is the lamest of the 3 GT’s. Which means we should have a real good GT year of cycling with tough climbing the trend.

I'll bet that Paul Sherwen is warming up his vocal cords.

    It seems kind of funny to watch that clip without hearing his voice describing the route.

Spiffy vid

Not very detailed, of course. Ha! A chance to pimp my Giro routes on Bikemap.net (sorry, there is no grouping feature) or Google Earth.

Is there any way to get profiles for all the Tour stages now?

Or is the Tour just behind the Giro and Vuelta in that respect…

Would really like to see the profiles for the Ardennes stage, the cobbles stage, and Mende.

The tour website

only has profiles of the mountain stages. The Giro and the Vuelta websites, in contrast, have profiles of every stage.

Letour does show for Stage 3 the last 25 km — 11 of them on Paris-Roubaix cobbles sectors 14, 15, 16 and 18. This will be incredibly cool — the entry to the first of these sectors will be the exact same flat stretch (in reverse) where Saxo blew the PR field into the echelons in April.

So, of course, this just whets my appetite for more, more, more.

Anyone know more about these stages?
