Ought to call it "Tour SE of Paris" Hits some decent wine country though.

I think its a fairly balanced route - not as much time trailing as in recent years. That tends to help with building and keeping the excitement. Also nice to see some climbs early on in the race, which should lower tensions that have been flaring in recent years.

I guess it is going to be a TDF that is more geared towards climbers who can also time trail versus time trialists who can also climb.
