They had the routes on SSN last week, the nearest it got was Stage 2 from York-Sheffield which passes through Hebden Bridge.
Maybe they've amended it. |  |

Its going up Cragg Vale to the top of Blackstone Edge before turning left down to Ripponden. It'll be a popular place to watch it though so i can imagine cars being parked down to Littleborough and a long walk up. | | | |

Cragg Vale, the longest continuous climb in England, and a favourite training route for local cyclists. Le Tour is on my Bucket list, so maybe a trip back to the UK to be planned. Hope Dale organise some good pre season friendlies to go with it. |  | | |

To be honest i dont think Cragg Vale will really slow the riders down as the gradient isn't there, you'd be better watching them up Ripponden bank as it's a fair bit steeper, though shorter and narrower so decent vantage points will be more difficult.
It is definitely worth watching if you'reat all interested, i've seen it 5 times in various places though never going along roads i regularly ride along myself. | | | |

The Ob makes it look like it's through Littleboro' but it drops back towards Yorkshire after reaching Blackstone Edge past the reservoir. The White House could earn a few bob that day. | |

The map and the article seem to suggest Haworth (not Andy) into Hebden Bridge, then down to Mytholmroyd and up Cragg Vale, turning left at the top onto the A58 towards Ripponden, then Elland, etc.
The top end of Cragg Vale and a little along the A58 are still within Littleborough, so that's the bit they seem to mean.
If they were coming into the centre of Littleborough from Hebden Bridge and Todmorden, it would mention the A6033.
But the White House will still be close enough to capture the spectators.
At least I think so, anyway.
