I'd heard the plan was to leave geraadsbergen but it would /will be a shame. The reason the first stage of this year's race was similar to last year was choice of first control.
Also, there are other ways to approach meteora so the parcours could be changed.
And the yugoslav countries are great riding so shame to not use them. Serbia has hardly been touched. And the experiment with using Romania instead was not a success.
If it were me I'd stick with gb, head in a different direction for the first stage (north/east) but move the finish. But it's not so will be interesting to see what the route, start and finish are!
