But on a more serious note: does this article say 'a stage in Algeria is possible next year', or does it say 'if the Tour leaves Europe, it will be to Algeria'? Because that last one is what Google Translate seems to come up with  @Bohemia A little help?  

 

The second one  It's a possibility but they have to study it and it may take time so we'll see!

 

You'll see my hometown next year  (it's a boring city and we have the most boring part of the Tour - team time trial. Last time they came here (in 2008) it was the same)

Steven Kruijswijk 2018: Tour + Vuelta (GC in the Tour I suppose)

Robert Gesink 2018: Giro + Tour (both going for stage wins)

 

So Kruijswijk, who is not a fan of heat, will do the two hot GC's. Gesink, who is fanastic in the heat but terrible in the cold, is going to do the coldest GC. Brilliant plan, this can't go wrong.
