The Tour de France 2011 route (if rumours are correct the full route will be announced on the 19th October 2010) is shaping up to be a good one for us and the More Than 21 Bends tours.

It looks like there will be a start in Pinerolo in Italy where it will then climb the Colle di Sestriere and the Col de Montgenevre before heading back into France. We tackle these climbs i n the other direction as part of our Alpe d’Huez to Italy tour in August. The tour is also rumoured to go over the Col d’Izoard that we climb in both the Big Col Tour (June) and the Alpe d’Huez to Italy tour.

Closer to home it looks like it will also be going over the Col du Glandon, Col du Galibier and of course up Alpe d’Huez – which are again all part of the Big Col Tour and Alpe d’Huez to Italy Tour.
