After such an epic and, frankly, shocking (as in stunning, stupendifying and surprising) stage to the Galibier last night, it’s going to take more than a few hours to recover and get back on track for tonight’s VSP stage to the mythical L’Alpe d’Huez.
I think the semantics of Stage 18 have been covered brilliantly by the Community here, and there’s nothing left for me to say about it except, wow.
So without further ado, and with the maximum time for you to get your tips in, we present the VSP for Stage 19, the Queen of the climbs, L’Alpe d’Huez. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle, because if you though that was good, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!
You know the drill. Good luck!

At least here, if you don't make the time cut, we don't penalise you 20 points!
C'mon TV!!!
Will someone please push the clean bottle guy down the mountain?

You lads are up early!
Anyone else think it might be a smarter move for Voekler to drop back and try to conserve something?
@brett
You probably should. I f'n suck at picking the podium. Much better at picking my ass.

I was thinking the same thing. I don't know that he can ride in that style though.

Yes - he needs to save it or he will fail on the Alpe d'Huez
