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!

I was gonna post that, but didn't wanna jinx him. If he cracks, we're holding you responsible.
Come together on the descent?
@pakrat
Better tour than Lemond/Fignon.
Evans pulls this back and I'm gonna shotgun a Fosters.
I know that these mountain stages have been on a Thursday and Friday and that we haven't seen L'Alpe yet, but does anyone else think the crowds in the mountains have been smaller than in previous years?
Fuckin' cuddle sROCKS! I've never been completely in his camp, but today, I am a complete convert!
Sorry, should be Cuddles ROCKS! Getting excited here at the clinic!
So the math for Andy is that if he stays with and works with Happy Jack he doesn't lose any time to him, but he does put time into Cadel, etc. correct?
Don't ride too close to a climbing Voekler. You'll get a head in the gut.
