Alllermont (30miles NE Grenoble).. up the south of the Col du Glandon (also same road as Croix de Fer), St Michell de Maurienne, right up the north of Col du Telegraphe, and straight on to Col du Galibier and then down the Col du Lauteret, down into Bourg d'Oisans and then up the Alpe d'Huez. Awsome ride.<br /><br />They've done the telegraphe/galibier/alpe d'huez this way in the tdf many times, often with the Madelaine or Izoard first. usually on the clockwise tdf's<br /><br />Booked my tickets for the opening weekend of the tdf2003...
