2004 Tour Route Details?

[Bianchi Dude]

Does anyone know when the details of the TDF stage routes will be published (beyond the start and
end town)?

I'm planning to spectate next year and want to find lodging near the cities along the way as well as
ride parts of the stages. So, knowing the actual road routes would be helpful, too.

Thanks in advance!

Seems like they hit the official Tour website around April or May. Then you can use
www.viamichelin.com or other site to map the roads. Worked pretty well for me this year. "bianchi

They are published around the end of May or as late as early June. Easy to figure out the roads in
the mountains. In other stages (other than Belgium and first couple of stages in France), you can
wait until then to figure out what you want to do when.
