Alpe d'Huez - 2001

[Bob Schwartz]

This is what it was like two years ago. This year's stage is a couple of days out and I'm already
getting primed.

Mike Jacoubowsky has a great race report with better pictures at:

It was a gas, I wish I could be there this year but things just didn't work out. You can not get a
sense of the atmosphere through the TV. Everyone should go at least once. Just like Mecca.

Mecca is ass deep in Dutch and Germans, and 98% of them are roaring drunk. They crank the tunes
mightily. No one sleeps.

It's just like Alpe d'Huez.
