The 2012 Tour de France route is producing a 'boring' race this year, according to RadioShack-Nissan's Fränk Schleck. He has been in the top five three times, third last year, but this year he is suffering. It is partly due to crashes and partly due to the parcours.

"It's a strange tour, not one like we used to see from the other years," he told Cycling Weekly. "Like we knew ahead of the race, I believe it's one for time trialists."
