And the Tour went too far. 5,300 metres of climbing in just 170 km, barely 24 hours from Paris!
Alpe d'Huez twice over, with the route's return to the Col de Sarenne (HC, 12.8 km at 7.3%), the wildest and most desolate side of the climb, after which two more rises must be cleared before the usual finish.
But first... the madness in the shape of mythical passes. Croix de Fer (HC), Télégraphe (cat. 1) and Galibier, the roof of the Tour at over 2,600m of altitude. Summits that need no describing and that make this a must-watch day.
Bonuses
