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!

Cadelelephant, yet another Trojan ride. 34 seconds!!
Evans always looks so awesomely menacing in the background. That shot of Sanchez w/Evan coming up behind was great.

Suicide? Fosters is shithouse, mate. Get a Coopers or a Boags.
But yeh, bad arse Cuddles.
I hope TV fights with dignity and takes his lose well. He's been too much fun to watch to see him get all pissy now.
@wiscot
It seems that way to me, but yesterday the talking heads said all the camper vans of Europe were on the slopes of the Galibier.
This will definitely be the most important descent of Grimplette's career so far.
@frank
Agreed. If he has the legs, he could crush L'Alpe.
Danielson and Hesjedal in there - what riding!
@frank
So relaxed he's just picked up a news paper to read on the next climb?!
@Chris
Hee hee!
@pakrat
Mate, at least make it a decent Aussie beer, not that camel piss! Say a Boag instead
