This is not street view, but it is relevant to the point. I wanted a Google picture of the parking lot of my local airport so that my wife could locate the car I was leaving for her. It seemed like a natural for Google's satellite views. Unfortunately, the parking lot has been 'under construction' for the last six months. The picture I got from Google was pre-construction, and not much utility. So imagine "ladies in bikinis and men leaving strip clubs" being embarrassed for years to come -- not just for a few moments.

All routes the Tour will follow can be seen in Streetview. My guess it's a matter of weeks before they start the complete Google Streetview for Europe.
