Velominati Super Prestige: Le Tour de France Stage 19

Photo: John Pierce/Photosport International

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!

Don't blame me

    You lads are up early!
    Anyone else think it might be a smarter move for Voekler to drop back and try to conserve something?

    Yes. And Hincrappy is doing what looks like not a g'damn thing for cuddles. Liquigas should just stick to the Giro and Vuelta.

  • Holy Merckx! Can't Europecar send someone up the road to help TV?? Is Rolland that shot? Their DS really needs to make a decision...

  • They showed the Green Hornet from the Isle of Man a wee bit ago. Not looking like a happy chappie at all.

  • Peleton assumes the position... Behind Cadel. GC guys saying "Race? Nothing to do with me, mate."

  • Well...I have this really lame thing called work to go to. lame shit for sure that I am going to miss this.

  • Aaah - the Lemon Turd we've been expecting for so long now. Thanks Tommy - It's been a blast.
    Cadel is going to descend like a maniac and latch onto the Little Swivel...

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

    Just hope is heart doesn't explode trying to keep the jersey today. He didn't look like he had anything left in him after yesterday.
