cycling (road) Tour de France route announcedpublished at 11:33
Analysis
Matt Slater
BBC Sport"After leaving Normandy, the race heads south to the Pyrenees, then west to the Alps and the Jura, through the Massif Central.
"There are nine stages that should suit the sprinters, nine for the climbers - with one somewhere in between - and the two time trials, one of which is a 10.5-mile blast up to the French ski resort of Megeve.
"Among the other highlights are a brutal eighth stage from Pau to Bagneres de Luchon in the Pyrenees, stage 17’s finish on the Emosson dam in Switzerland and a decisive penultimate stage from Megeve to Morzine, via some of the Alps’ most testing climbs."

"If there is something in a referee's report, we will write to the club concerned, but we will not comment on a particular incident," said a Premier League spokesperson.
