Muur? - attn: Jeff Jones

Cyclingnews reports that tomorrows stage goes over the Muur.
Wasn't it previously reported that though the stage climbs
through Geraardsbergen, it doesn't actually do the climb
from RVV fame (i.e., past the town center, left after the
church, and right onto the Muur proper)? -Mike

There was some uncertainty about it at one stage, but the
itinerary is very specific about it (well, it only says
Muur, so they might be bypassing the Kapelmuur at the top,
but I doubt it), and just going up through the town wouldn't
merit a third-cat climb.
