I was wondering what the clims were in height. They don't really look all that bad from the Youtube videos but whats in a vid isn't the same as doing it. Is this off the Tour's official site?0

it's the official tour profile, yep. Annoyingly, there's no profile published from the first stage...
However... I do happen to have the first two stages mapped
Stage 1 - http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=zbyybrmjbuudeiyi
Stage 2 - http://www.gpsies.com/map.do?fileId=yzmtvftopimnefwe
which will give a pretty accurate mapping of the hill profile. There's also a link on the page to a Google Earth Fly-Through for each stage.
To be honest, in comparison to the HIll Stages over in the Alps or Pyrenees they're nothing special - but I think that there are bits of them that will at least put a little sap into their legs - the hills are generally short, and may well average maybe 7-9% or so, but most of the proper ones do have (from memory at least) odd sections that get to 20% or steeper... I know that the Buttertubs certainly has0 -
I can recommend the Cote de Holme Moss and the Cote De Jenkins road. Both were very rewarding.0
