Blimey. It looks pretty savage
Hope they remove these traffic islands just in front of the turn... Yu can see the bonnet of a small black car poking out from the climb turn.

Starting far left side of approach road and turning full width of road into that turn hard to say ....I doubt you could hold 30 kph

The race to that corner is going to be something. If the field is intact I see a lot of potential crashes out side ,5 k... Breaking news on that

Hi guys, just dropping in from lurking..
FWIW I know that bit of Toulouse well, and the images that depict the start of that final climb captures the problems there well …the main road before the turn isn’t that wide (no idea what they are going to do with the furniture) and the actual right turn off the level to enter the climb is real right hook and the start of the climb itself is pretty narrow…..
Should be road side near the top of that one tomorrow, promise to wave.

Is that from the roadbook maps? I'm not sure they've marked all of them there, it seemed a bit hit and miss.

Yep ...checked .. not only that I discovered Carcassonne stage has a 4k rule rather than 5

From cycling news too
" Seven stages of this year's Tour will see the 3km rule extended to 5km, including the nailed-on sprint days - stages 1, 3, 9, and 15 in Lille, Dunkerque, Châteauroux, and Carcassonne, respectively. Three other stages – 4, 17, and 21 to Laval, Valence, and the visit to Montmartre in Paris – also see the new 5km rule implemented."
Neither this or roadbook has sprint zone for stage 11
Stage 1 has not got sprint zone in road book . There may be errors

I specifically mentioned him being a plan B if Vingegaard blew up but yeah, just ignore that part.
Sure but if Jorgensen attacks and Pog doesn’t chase it would mean Jonas would also be (even further) behind him which is what happened at the Vuelta.

Maybe better to restrict them to just the left lane on the approach rather than having a massive fight for the corner.
Sure but then Pog would be giving up the lead to Jorgensen which would indicate that he has blown. In which case Vingegaard jumps and drops him too. VLAB have a one-two. All hypothetical at this stage.

There was definitely some confusion and error, because stage 4 isn't Laval, it's Rouen. And Laval did have a 5km - I remember this mix up at the time.
No problem then, the fight for position just starts a bit earlier, as the fight to get into the left lane
They honestly need to take the island out (and they probably have) or someone will end up getting sued.
