After a 2015 route that heavily favoured the climbers like Nairo Quintana, the 2016 Tour has a slightly more balanced route, with more time trial kilometers included.
The race is 3517km long, with 9 mountain stages including a finish at the summit of Mont Ventoux, 2 time trials and 7 sprint stages.

Oh maaaahhh gash!
Tour de France or Tour of Europe. They need to get back to the race being
held in FRANCE not all these other add on countries. Like MG comment about
best spot to view and what about where to stay.
is there any chance you could use miles as well as kilometres because km’s
mean bugger all to me , you might as well say “this days race is derubhki
long” , I haven’t met anyone who uses kilometres apart from foreigners (
and I mean that in the nicest of ways 😉 )
si, where can we pick up a pair of those GCN socks?
A very good quick summary. WELL DONE. How about another take, looking at
the stages in more detail. Perhaps a 3-minute video on each stage, with
your predictions of the stage winner. Many thanks. keep up the good work.
What if I want to click the bike behind you to subscribe?
Won’t it be more of a Kittel vs Greipel show when it comes to sprinters?
Cavendish seems to be somewhat off lately and it’s good that way. that
guy’s a complete tool.
on the other hand, let’s hope Contador and Froome will both lose. It’s time
to see some new, younger winners like Quintana or Aru.
GCN could you please do a video for spectators wanting to go see the event
next year? possibly highlighting some of the best spots to see them do
battle and any tips for getting over there or tips whilst over there? Would
be interesting seeing you guys putting your comedy spin on an informative
‘travel’ theme! Cheers guys!
why the hell is there no TTT?
Si…..what’s up with your hair?!
Well spank my ass and call me Shirley, Si has got new shoes. About time.
