Tour de France 2013 Routing Part I

I am writing this for my travelling companion, who is arriving in Luxembourg on 24?? There will be a briefing.

Sunday, 23/06 National Championship Luxembourg

Monday, 24/06 work

http://www.velowire.com is a good source of information if you don't have the official guide book. German version of the official guide book is the best one as it has more maps than others.


Tuesday, 25/06 -- All day driving --
In the morning leaving Luxembourg for Nice

There are two possible routes:
Route 01 Lux-France-Nice = 1,000km
Route 02 Lux-Alsace-Switzerland-Lugano-Milan-Genova-Monaco-Nice = 1,000km

Route 01
Pros: Less tunnels? Mostly flat
Cons: More toll charges
After 500km, I will be near Lyon, where I will take a couple of hours to sleep in the car.

Route 02
Pros: Less Toll charges (I have Swiss vignette!)
Cons: Slightly ups and downs. More tunnels.

I am leaning toward Route 02.

After 500km, I will be in Switzerland, where I will nap for a few hours in the car before heading further south.

Wednesday morning arrival in Nice or Monaco (I'll be like a zombie by then).


Wednesday afternoon in Nice
13:00 check-in at the port

Light meals also reserved and paid for but I would like to sleep if possible.

Wednesday evening in Bastia
20:00 check-in near Bastia

Accommodations: not yet booked but there are some camping sites near Bastia

Thursday morning moving to Porto-Vecchio = 180km
Thursday evening in Porto-Vecchio: Team Presentation

check-in near Porto-Vecchio
There are a lots of hotels and camping sites. Three or four nights here.

Friday free
Spend some time on the bike. Also on the beach?


Saturday Stage 01 grand Depart
Porto-Vecchio - Bastia
Watching the ceremonial start in Porto-Vecchio. It seems that it is impossible to drive pass the peloton. So that'll be it for the day.


Sunday Stage 02 Bastia - Ajaccio
Mountain stage - category 2/3 climbs. Feed zone near Vivario (also a camping site there)
I would like to get on the bike there.


Monday Stage 03 Ajaccio - Calvi
Col de Marsolino (Cat 2) near Calvi is the place to be?

Stay near Bastia for the night.

Tuesday morning in Bastia
07:00 check-in at the port

Tuesday afternoon in Nice
Stage 04 TTT

Finding a parking place in Nice could be a pain in the ass. Otherwise, I think I have enough time to enjoy the TTT event. After the race, I will be leaving for next day's feed zone and find a lodging.

Wednesday Stage 05
Watch the peloton at the feed zone and the try to over take them by toll roads. See the peloton in Marseille again.

After the race, I will drive to drive to next day's feed zone????????
