missing the massif central again-bummer. puy de dome this decade?-please! since prudhomme took over, i have generally enjoyed the routes he presents.
seems like he at least tries to balance innovation with tradition. doesn't always work but at least it doesn't feel rubber stamped every july. i do like the inclusion of a stage in the vosges.
hoping he includes (and it seems like he may have) 3-4 medium mountain dangerous mouncoutie-style breakaway stages as they animate the race outside of the alps/pyrenees.
