As well, its a great course for the climbers with a good number of high category climbs. This should be an epic.

I think ASO have lost the plot a bit - the TTT is one the greatest cycling spectacles - especially in the TdF. What a shame!!! Yet again, no Team TT - this is really sad.

It is a great spectacle, PLEASE include it in 2009! I agree with Graydon…what a pity the TTT is missing again.

I still have a video of last time the TdF went there in 1993 with Indurain and Rominger. Phil Ligget and Paul Sherwen were in awe of this mountain. But not sure where crowds will fit on the climb as it was a very narrow road and BIG drop to the valley if you missed a turn! The inclusion of col du la Bonnette Restefont is exciting.

ASO have again lost the chance to showcase to a global audience the best of cycling speed and power with precision in the TTT!!! Such a waste! Hope they can get their act togethor and find a way for it to be back in the TDF soon, and give the teams a chance to show what they can do cycling as "one"! Whyere is the TTT????
