Tour organizers change 2015 route after landslide (The Associated Press)
Tour de France organizers have changed the route of the 20th stage of this year’s race following a landslide in the French Alps. At 110.5-kilometers (68.6-miles), the length of the Alpine stage between Modane and l’Alpe d’Huez remains unchanged, but the famed Col du Galibier is no longer part of the race program. Organizers said in a statement that following ”the closure of the Chambon tunnel because of a landslide in April,” traffic in the area won’t be restored before the passage of the peloton on July 25.
