ASO OOPS! 2012 Tour De France Route Mistakenly Unveiled
Last night (or yesterday afternoon European time) the ASO mistakenly posted the 2012 Tour de France route on their website. Velopeloton.com was the first to catch it but unfortunately their site is down. Here are the screenshots of the route from Google cache (strange that the map is labeled 2012, but is actually the 2011 route).
Read the ASO’s comments on cyclingnews.
