I'd planned a lot last year by this stage - but not the ones where they hadn't finalised the checkpoints.
I then spent a lot of time checking it and I think I had it just about perfect - I had about the same distance as other people were saying but 4-5,000m less climbing. I spent ages fine-tuning my route across France - saved loads of climbing by doing that. Then didn't get to ride that bit!Better than the year before though - planned almost all of it and didn't get to ride any of it. For me, TCR is mostly a mapping competition with a bit of cycling thrown in.

Last year I had it all planned by now and was just checking endlessly. This time around I'm not even sure where the checkpoints are relative to each other!
