I don't think I've ever seen the tour start in the south. This route looks very new and different.

Here is what I would like to see happen. LA rides the Giro for the first time saying he it out to win it and then ride support for Contador during the tour. He wins the Giro and goes into tour expecting to play first lieutenant. Astana puts Contador in yellow until Mt. Ventoux and then LA does a Hinault and races up the mountain to get his Ventoux win and take over yellow. The Spanish are screaming traitor, the French are screaming drugie and the rest of the world is in awe of a thirty seven year old guy winning the tour.
