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!

Man... another VSP. Are we doing one for Saturday too???? :) The main guys let a break take the glory, but only one man escapes from the break, Hoogerland making his last stab for glory in the tour this year. :) The rest of the action is behind him.

No idea after last night's bombshell. All I'm hoping is that Voeckler has nothing left in his handbag of courage - I'm sick of seeing those Europcar wheelsuckers shirk the workload when the road tilts up.

Read 'em and weep. No explanation, other than TV explodes, PR is released, and I have no idea what I am talking about.
Also, France needs a win!

(I know he didn't swivel last night but its such a good one)
Andy will ride like a lion again tonight and then crack like a Luxemburg Turd in the TT. Cadel will stick to him like shit to a blanket. Sanchez will come good after mainlining the meatworks. Basso will realise he's wasted his whole season. Big Swivel will get his come uppance for jumping Cadel on the line last night.

As Rod Stewart sang "tonight's the night" and I suspect Frandy may be humming right this minute to themselves!
