Tour de France 2016

[scooby]

Hi. I see the Tour de France route has been announced for next year. The stage from Samur to Limoges looks like its going close/through Montmorillon.

Does anyone have any more info as to the specifics (if they've released them). I'm guessing Montmorillon-Lathus-Le Dorat may be part of it?

Look forward to hearing any news

So far I've only been able to find this on lanouvellerepublique.fr

Selon nos informations, la quatrième étape du Tour de France 2016, entre Saumur et Limoges, passera bien par la Vienne. On n'est pas encore certain du tracé exact mais, selon nos sources, elle pourrait passer par Loudun, Châtellerault, La Puye, Paizay-le-Sec, Saint-Savin, Saint-Germain, Jouhet et Montmorillon.

Thanks for that big boy.

According to the local rag the race hits Montmorillon at about 1500 - coming from St Savin - and goes thru Lathus at 1516. No messing about here.  It actually states 1516!!!!!!!!

Great news for the area.  

Myself and Madame Admiral already have plans in place for a burger/banger and chips stand plus proper beer.

Do I need to worry about you?  Posting at five in the morning.  Oh dear dear......................

Well it may have been five where you were. But not necessarily where I was...
