- Tiny nitpick: “Samiens 1600” – did you mean Samoëns 1600? Big difference. If Samoëns or La Plagne land a summit finish, expect Jumbo-Visma/Visma–LAB to go full tempo train again.

- Slightly sceptical on “sprinters in the driver’s seat” for StageFive categorized climbs and 2,800m is no cupcake after 200k—if it’s wet in the Lakes, breakaway has real legs. Don’t undersell the terrain.

- Rousse is right about not overloading difficulty. Short, sharp finales keep the racing open. But could we get 10–11 stages instead of 9? Même juste un ou deux jours de plus, c’est top pour la visibilité.

- Question: if the Femmes has a TTT on stage 3, doesn’t that risk making bigger early gaps than a short ITT would? How do smaller teams mitigate that—time splits based on 4th rider?

- Femmes route starting Leeds–Manchester then a hilly Manchester–Sheffield is perfect Yorkshire grit. And a TTT in London on The Mall? That’s TV gold and a real test of the well-drilled squads like SD Worx and Canyon–SRAM.

- Granon or Loze in 2027 is savage. Granon broke Pog in ’22; Loze is a leg-breaker with those ramps above 2,000m. If they toss in Domancy near Sallanches as a dress rehearsal for the Super Worlds, we might see real GC gaps before the third week.

- Cherbourg double-start is a neat nod toCôte de la Glacerie finish would split the bunch; remember Sagan’s surge there. If they stack a medium-mountain day after, yellow could change hands twice before the Alps.

- Are they really skipping a TT entirely in week one? Doesn’t that tilt GC toward pure climbers and attackers early on? Curious how they’ll balance it later—any ITT whispers after the transfer to France?

- Eight categorized climbs into Cardiff? That screams puncheurs and classics guys. If the gradients really hit double digits late, think Pidcock, Hirschi, Evenepoel-type fireworks. Geraint finishing in Wales will be goosebumps stuff.

- Good piece but you kind of glossed over tactics in stages 2–What were the sprint lead-out dynamics? Who was piloting Vos into those finals? Feels a bit light on race detail tbh.
