The P-R map and detailed course route is up at http://www.letour.fr/2006/PRX/LIVE/us/100/carte.html but the jpg map is pretty low resolution. I'd like to find a course map with sufficient resolution to see the course in enough detail to work up a viewing plan. Any pointers to either the map or a live viewing strategy?

Thanks...giorgitd
What's Google Earth like in that area? Never mind, I checked. Its not as good as it is in many parts of the U.S. Probably worth looking at as better than a guess. Roads and terrain only worked best.

Are you on bikes or in cars?
Your vantage points may differ
But get the best - largest scale - Michelin - you can plus the latest route as per Het Volk/Het Nieuwsblad and do some recces and timing tests to determine your overall viewing plan
You may be able to intersect the race at several points
Make sure to take in a major climb and if your schedule goes awry, head for a bar that has a Tele

Good Hunting
You'll need a lot of good hunting to find a mjor climb on PR.. I usually go to the Foret d'Arenberg (sp?) and then to Cysoing where there are a couple of good crowded bars with TVs.. Enjoy! CU en route.. Dan Gregory

OOOPS - I got mixed up there and thought we were still at Flenders
But with the exception of the hill , the advise remains the same
