TDF stage 15: doin' d’Huez
The fans' favourite summit finish, l’Alpe d’Huez, takes its turn on Tuesday to torture le tour's remaining riders. Three out of five of cafevelo's tips for the stage win have crashed out, leaving just Floyd and George in the pot. If we could sit in the director's chair, then cafevelo would have Simoni and Cunego battling it out up the climb's 21 hairpin bends.
Climb: 4 minute hill
Target = 4 mins from crossroads to junction. Cafevelo's best this year, 04m03s.
