Entirety of the stages of the turn of France 2006
All starts with the prolog in the town of Strasbourg before tackling a stage on a course in loop around Strasbourg, Alsace and Germany then to join the Netherlands with an arrival with Valkenburg and a passage by the Belgian Ardennes, shortly after the top of Cauberg, then follow stages of plains.
The absence of against-the-shows by teams will undoubtedly benefit with the sprinters who will have the occasion to take the yellow jersey in first week (except victorious escape) and the leaders who do not have a team of wheelers. Then the first great appointment will come from this Tour de Francewith the first large one against-the-shows individual then the Pyrenees in which no runner will gain the turn but where some will lose it already.
Ensuites days of escaped with the stages from transitions then the Alps with for first great stage Izoard, Lautaret then final rise towards Alpe d' Huez and the following day, inter alia, Galibier and its 2.645 meters of altitude but which will be climbed by its least difficult slope: Lautaret. Before a last stage of mountain which resembles extremely that of 2000 with the victory of Richard Virenque and the light failure of Lance Armstrong with the Seizures, Aravis, Colombière then to finish Joux-Plane then a descent towards Morzine then 2 days later, before last stage: against-the-shows individual between Creusot and Montceau-the-Mines is the counterpart of last against-the-shows of 1998 gained by Jan Ulrich who in the event of new podium would equalize the record of Raymond Poulidor with 8 and in the event of 2nd place that of Joop Zoetemelk with 6.
And finally the last day, the prestigious stage of the Fields-Elysées where Alexandre Vinokourov showed us last year that the sprinters were not unbeatable but where they will dispute the last points for the conquest of the green shirt.
