Stages two & three next year are already confirmed as medium mountain stages (although Sagan won both of those this year) which should make it interesting.
The time-trials are all but confimed already, No prologue (I prefer a normal stages start but would've preferred the flat stage 2nd than 1st.
The team time trial is stage four and you'd assume the other time trial the Friday or Saturday of week three.”

Not really surprising when you consider that this tour was almost certainly clean (Schleck notwithstanding).
Wiggins won, not because he was doping but because others weren't. You just have to look how many GC contenders 'underperformed' this year.
Wiggins has just won a historic victory & people can't help sniping.
Only in Britain
