The 2010 Tour de France route was announced today and although there is no Alpe d’Huez stage this year – stage 9 will head over the Col de Madeleine and this ridable from Bourg d’Oisans over the Col du Glandon (as used in La Marmotte sportive in July). Stage 10 from Chambery to Gap also looks interesting and could possible come very close to Bourg d’Oisans. This would make an ideal base to catch a bit of the Tour de France and also ride some of the climbs with us. The route will go up over Laffrey (30km) and we would then return to Bourg d’Oisans via the Col d’Ornon (2KM)
