Aurel Sercu Posted 15 October , 2013 Share Posted 15 October , 2013 Hedley, Beginning of September my (Flemish) paper wrote : 8 July : stage from (near) Dunkirk to (near) Lille. 9 July : stage from (near) Lille to Ypres. But that would be a team time trial. But : not official yet. Is that repeated or confirmed in the French papers ? Aurel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalyback Posted 15 October , 2013 Share Posted 15 October , 2013 Team time trial still a race and you get to see the course numerous times rather than flash by with normal race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indefatigable Posted 17 October , 2013 Share Posted 17 October , 2013 Today a cycling website revealed lunchtime that Stage 5 of 2014 Tour would start at Ypres as revealed on Belgian radio by former prime minister Yves Leterme, a native of Ypres and member of the local organising committee. It also mentioned that the stage would also include a cobbled section which Chris Froome (this years winner) is a bit apprehensive about if true. Next week the tour route will be announced.

Moonraker Posted 17 October , 2013 Share Posted 17 October , 2013 cycling website article One appended comment is from "Blackbeard" wondering why the war needs to be commemorated; not sure if he's getting confused with "celebrated"? Generally I find a few of the cycling-specific comments made on this website a bit inane - I'm not sure whether a couple of guys are idiots or trolls. (Perhaps a troll is an idiot, anyway?)
