The Tour de France route is about to be revealed - live stream here.
Most of the route has been leaked already, we know it'll be largely based in the south and east of the country. There's a ramp finish on the Planche des Belles Filles, summit finish on the Tourmalet, expected time trials in St Etienne and Nimes and the final mountain stage on the last Saturday goes over the Iseran to Val Thorens. What we can find out this morning is the detail and how tokenistic they can make La Course. Route itself should be released around the top of the hour.
They've just shown the three living five-time Tour winners, seemed a bit harsh to put Poulidor right behind them given that they're commemorating the centenary of the yellow jersey.
