Tour de France 2010 route mapped

The Tour organisation traditionally provides quite some detail on the route they are taking, as they did for the 2010 route. I was able to use that info to map all of the 21 stages (including the prologue in Rotterdam, Netherlands) via the Bikemap mapping service. Quite an enjoyable process for me and of course I learned a lot about the route. For instance, stage 18 to Bordeaux looked deadly boring on first glance, but it turns out they just about take the smallest roads of the whole Tour that day. Probably beautiful to ride there yourself! After the jump I embedded the map for possibly decisive stage 15 to Bagnères-de-Luchon (Edit: alas, that didn't work!), linked to the other stages and put up an all-in-one download link for use in Google Earth.
