Pulled my yellow t-shirt out of the closet last night!

Anyone have a map? 9 flat stages seems like a lot.

9 flat stages
5 hill stages
6 mountain stages with 5 altitude finishes
1 individual time trial stage
2 rest days

I love mountain stages with finishes at the top. I've always thought that after several hard climbs a daredevil descender shouldn't be able to chase down the leaders. Yes, I know descending is a tough game, but that's the way I think.

Regardless of where the race stands after stage 16, 17 and 18 can change it all. Stage 17 has four hard climbs stuffed into just 124K. After 50K on the road it will be a brutal tactical couple of hours. If that's not enough, the next day is Col du Tourmalet, and Hautacam in 145K. There will be no pretending on either of these short stages.
