apply for a press pass...but probably too late for this year and you need some sort of credentials to get one. i had a press pass in 2001 and you get all kinds of stuff. a book on the history of the tour with tons of statistics, detailed maps, etc. but you don't get this stuff until fairly close to the start, maybe within a month. none of this stuff will be available online. they will provide an itinerary on the letour.com website that shows the timetable for multiple points on the route, but this also might not be available until june.
