Grand Tour race book?
Just curious here --
Has anyone ever had the opportunity to review the "race book" issued to the teams and riders for a grand tour?
I hear it referred to frequently on the international / ad-free broadcast of the grand tours as I'm watching the replays via NBC Gold.
It's also mentioned frequently on Armstrong's podcast The Move, he or Johann always have one on-hand to refer to when describing the stage routes.
it sounds cool to me, I'd be interested to see it one day to further my understanding of how teams prepare for the routes.

I found a link with dozens of them from 2018 + 2019 in PDF, but I'm unable to copy the link here.

They're not issued for the public, they're issued to team personnel / race personnel so they're not widely available. The link I found had dozens from races of recent years and the files were downloadable. to find a had copy to buy I guess search for them on eBay / craigslist / etc. . I would have copied the link here when I found it but I was unable to include links, photos, or files at the time I wrote the earlier post. I'm attaching one file from the Amstel Gold race here but I've never attached files before . . .
