Updated 10 October 2011.
ASO website publish route of tour de France 2012 (mistakenly). It is only one page, all the links from the page to other pages about the route return an error. The map displayed is of the 2011 Tour de France.
http://www.letour.fr/2012/TDF/COURSE/fr/le_parcours.html
The link has now been deactivated by ASO. Someone is going to be in big trouble!
I screen grabbed it off the Le Tour website. It has now been removed.
I was looking at the 2011 site and wondered what I would see if I changed the url from 2011 to 2012. Non of the links worked so no details of the route. I think there must be a lot of shouting and swearing going on in Paris right now.
