Sorry so late close to stage start.
Once again, changes are in Purple.
Changes per UBIsoft website map.
I still had a question with their rendering of the Arles area, the French Route Numbers from the Tour de France website did not seem to synch up with any of the roads in town, so I copied UBIsoft verbatim, but that leaves the sprint point and feed zone in limbo. I don't have GPS so I can't accurately enough track to the exact KMs to place them. If I can tell placements by TV coverage, then I'll come back and edit after the fact for the archives.
Note they almost go thru the whole town of Montpelier at the finish; I think the arrivee was located near the stadium so the caravan would have plenty of parking.
Tomorrow, I'll try to get a stage ahead so I'm not falling asleep doing this and posting so near start time, but I had a prior commitment Wednesday.

Only a few minor ones, especially a few of the Mountain points.
I've not gotten ahead yet, but I'm getting better.
(All my additions including KMs are in Purple.)
small movements in path I just corrected original points.
Thank U to MapMyRide.com, where the TDF org made the original post. They updated since then, but it was here I was able to implement KM markers on the map.
Thank also UBILabs website, they seem to pick up most of the corrections.
Stay posted for more stages.
(Edited 7/20/07)
My sleepy head last night forgot to include the correction path. So the KMs looked a little off in one spot. So I'm reposting the kmz folder to include it.

Here is the Stage 13 TT. The finish and MT Point is the only thing slightly moved. I added km marks and the time check.
If you have downloaded any of the other stage changes, note I forgot the correction path in the attachment yesterday. I reuploaded the folder with the path added.
I should be able to upload Stage 14 before I go to bed tonite, or 1st thing tomorrow. After this I should be able to stay 1 stage ahead.
Thanx again to the UBILabs website, they seem to have most of the accurate information, especially at the finishes. I copied their finish line and run-in into Montpelier on stage 11, that included the traffic circle 500 meters from the finish, that Freddie Rodriquez crashed on and said it wasn't even in the Race Handbook. Hats off to UBILabs for having the inside dish on that one!!

Here are the route corrections for Stage 14.
Boy, it was tough matching the mileages to the maps in some cases. But in the end, I think the route corrections (in purple as usual) made the mileages make sense. It was tough figuring the side roads to make the mileages match up.
If anyone notices any errors during the telecast. PLEASE feel free to correct me. I am especially concerned about the finish, although I think I remember the profile of the Plateau de Beille finish a few years ago when Valverde (or was it Basso?) pulled away from Lance Armstrong at the finish. <Edited: Nope, wasn't the stage I was thinking of; last time Lance was here in '04 he won.> I guess all of the TV trailers park in the fields next to the finish line.
It should be an exciting stage. Enjoy watching!!!
