This is the official route map, announced in Paris last October. Highlights for 2010 include:
1. Something like 13 km of cobblestone riding (Belgium and northern France).
2. Le Tourmalet (first climbed 100 years ago) will be climbed twice, including one stage finish.
3. Lots of intermediate mountain riding (Jura, Cevennes).
4. No team time trial, which should even out the field somewhat.

laat de rabo nu eens goed voor de dag komen
I am sad to notice that the Official 2010 Tour de France Route Map will fly over Cevennes !
From Mende to Rodez, the hearth of Cevennes will be missed by the bicyclers, what a pitty !
See heren which beautiful trip, they will miss :
