Stage 12 - Flat or medium-mountain?

Stage 12 is listed as a medium-mountain stage in the current revision of the article. But on the Tour website [1] is is listed as flat. --Kompik (talk) 12:38, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I have corrected this, but no doubt someone will change it back on the grounds that, with 4 climbs similar to stage 11, it is hardly flat. Bikeroo (talk) 13:59, 17 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The "official website" also lists stage 5 (the cobblestone stage) as "hilly", while there were no categorised climbs and the highest point was a measly 57 meters. Still, no reason not to follow the site for stage 12 (flat) and 11 (hilly/medium mountain) though. - FakirNL (talk) 01:06, 18 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Stage 5 cobblestones

Stage 5 is listed as being flat with cobblestones - but is illustrated with the pic for a hilly stage. In the first place it would surely be better to use the flat stage pic, but also there must surely be an equivalent pic just for cobblestone races? Every other type of race seems to have its own dedicated graphic. JamKaftan (talk) 15:37, 4 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ypres

I'm assuming that stages starting in Britain and in Ypres exactly a hundred years after the start of the First World War are not coincidental. Does someone want to research this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:647:4680:EE80:1D57:C7BD:2CD2:5425 (talk) 19:35, 15 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The routes during WW1 and WW2 cannot be the same. History of the Tour is lacking. --2600:6C48:7006:200:B056:6066:1296:EF0B (talk) 23:40, 5 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Can you be more clear on this? What is "routes during WW1 and WW2"? Routes of what? Which part of the article are you talking about? -EdgeNavidad (Talk · Contribs) 07:02, 6 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
