Tour de France Rumours 2019?

Rumours of the Tour de France parcours for 2019 have been circulating for some time now, consolidated on Velowire.com today. Based on those rumours I booked flights and accommodation back in early August. I did not see a stage in 2018 after seeing well over 100 stages on consecutive years between 2008-2017.

Plan is to see lead up races Criterium du Dauphine and Tour de Suisse plus a few days of Tour de France. The Tour de France stages will include a finish in Reims (8 July), La Bresse (10 July) and Planche des Belles Filles (11 July). Those stages are very similar to the 2014 route. Weather wasn't the best. After Belles Filles I will return to Paris for two weeks before returning home. I will spend 10 weeks in France.

I really enjoyed my training in Paris a few weeks ago. After early morning sessions on track I'll return to my apartment and watch the final weeks on TV.

A big weather event is brewing for much of my local area this afternoon and weekend. Up to 100mm predicted to fall with damaging winds. I've been through a few of these periods now. I've started setting up for indoor training. This morning a quick trip to the shop for supplies that the puppy will eat, another short run solo, and a short puppy training session of fetch the ball. I ran 80 minutes just before the weather arrived. Tassie Masters Athletics posted this video from the Australian Masters Athletics Championships mixed XC race a few days ago on their Youtube site. A great memory from such a great event.
