The torture continues are the TDF rest day with a 159km stage in the Alpes :
including the legendary climbs of the Telegraphe and the Galibier.
They start with the hors category climb of the L'Iseran!!!!!!
Km 15: Col de l'Iseran: 15.0 km climb @ 6 % grade / hors catégorie
Km 99: Col du Telegraphe: 12.0 km climb @ 6.7 % grade / 1st Cat.
Km 122: Col du Galibier: 17.5 km climb @ 6.9 % grade / hors catégorie
It will be interesting to see how the main GC riders perform after their rest day.
Will Vino have recovered?
Or will Kloden be given the job of leading Astana?
Can Contador continue his fine climbing?
And what of Valverde?
Can Mayo sustain his good form?
Or will Ras put them all to the sword again?
This stage is a mountain top finish - so a good climber/descender may have an opportunity.
Savoldelli springs to mind.
