Not quite sure what you mean here
But the Red circles represent climbs or cols/mountains
The Green represent intermediate and the final sprint
They match the jerseys for the current leader of the competitions

US Sets new World Record - Go, Go, M'Bongo
Two weeks ago America's debt went up to $166 billion in a single day,
a single day run-up greater than the entire U.S. annual deficit in 2007.

Low number = higher category (steeper climb)?

Here's an old chestnut worth repeating (found via google):
[Quoted material follows]
Ben c'est assez simple : Tu prends une 2CV. Si celle-ci
monte en 4ème, alors c'est un col de 4ème catégorie. Même
chose avec la 3ème, 2ème puis 1ère vitesse. Maintenant,
si la 2CV ne monte pas, il s'agit du col "hors catégorie"...
Translation for non-francophones:
Well, it's quite simple: you take a [Citroen] 2CV. If it climbs
in 4th [gear], it's a 4th category climb. Same thing with 3rd,
2nd and 1st gear. If the 2CV won't climb at all, it's a 'hors
catégorie' col.
