For those that haven't seen it yet, the route has been released for next years tour.

Interesting route, imo. It starts this year in London before heading into France and Belgium. 3 Mountain-top finishes, which excites me. Plenty of flat stuff for the sprinters.

A quick glance and I didn't see Alpe d'Huez, but I may have just overlooked it. Do they ever not do d'Huez? It seems unholy to do so.

They skip Alpe D'huez quite often. THis year they do go voer both Colombiere and Galibrier, so there are some tough climbs there.
