It’s weird to make an announcement with no details on the length of the race. I expect they’ll try and bury the news that it’s going to be four days when there’s something bigger going on.
I think they are damned if they do and damned if they don’t. The positive news is that they are going to put together a stage race, even if Prudhomme sounds ambivalent on it.
