First off, check out the profile for Wednesday: That hurts. Average gradient 7.9%, 13 kilometres long, 21 hairpins, elevation 1860 metres: This is L’Alpe [...]

Check out this bit from the Garmin-Chipotle blog: How did we feel about this? It’s hard to go over individual feelings but the general buzz in the bus was one of good news shrouded in contempt. It was a little surreal and disheartening watching the police and dozens of media surrounding the Saunier Duval bus. But [...]
