2008 Tour de France Route

It seems like "Different" might be a theme for the 2008 Tour de France. The route was announced last Thursday by Christian Prudhomme. In the last couple of years there has been a leader emerge in the mountain stages that has taken the yellow jersey through the rest of the tour. 2008's route looks to change up some of the competition and hopefully allow some breakaways to stay broken away.
