How many Alpe d'Huez do you want? The 2026 Tour de France answers: "yes".
La Grande Boucle serves up two queen stages in one, with Friday's as the short version: 128 km taking in Noyer -as yesterday- and the Col d'Ornon before tackling modern cycling's most mythical climb with its 21 bends.
It's 13.8 km at 8.1%, back at the Tour after four years away, as a taster for tomorrow's double dose.
