Vive Le Tour!

Tour de France 2005 Route

2005 route has been released! It looks like an interesting course that'll be covering some territory that hasn't been seen in many years. Furthermore, for the first time in quite a while, the course was actually eased from years past. With Lance continuously rising to the occassion and everyone else falling behind, the race organizers created a course with fewer days in the mountains, a reduced amount of uphill finishes, and generally easier climbs. Also, there will be only two individual time trials--the prologue and the day before Paris. Anything to undermine the Texan in yellow, eh?
