2007 Tour de France Route Revealed

The organizers of the Tour de France unveiled the route for next year's Tour in Paris a few hours ago. Covering 3547 kilometers, the Tour will include 20 stages, two individual time trials, six mountain stages and 11 flat stages (plus a Prologue and two rest days). Next year the tour will begin in London, England (Prologue and Stage 1), crossed the Channel and spend a couple of days in Belgium, and then circle France in a clockwise direction (so Alps first then Pyrenees).
