There is a lure about it. In the region, there are some more beautiful, some more remote, many far harder, and a lot with much less traffic. But there’s just something about those 21 switchbacks isn’t there?

Sastre’s ride up ADh was fantastic – to attack (twice!) on that lower, incredibly steep section, and then continue to pound it out, that’s impressive! I think he deserves to win this Tour, and I hope he rides the ride of his life tomorrow in the TT! I do not want that pouty, whiny, mean Cadel Evans to win!

Thanks for all the stats on the Alpe!
