From what I understand they have to ride checkpoint routes ie Ventoux from Bedouin and Strada from Sestriere. So it is all N roads from now and @skinny can be happy he got the holidays in last year with all he is missing.
Mind you when we were out of Gap in the coach heading west for the motorway there was a sign saying Carpentras with a fair mileage that impressed me and he is doing that in a few hours.

Looks like the most direct route is over the Izoard too. Tough night/day ahead for all.
The military road is up and down too so it's not like you're riding a flat gravel road either. But, and I may go and look up the answer to this myself, I thought the race didn't mandate a route, just the four checkpoints enroute? So can you not go to Sestriere then make your own route to the next checkpoint?
