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!

Looking at the route profile - this is a loooong descent...
Tommy's riding has been completely apeshit. He's gone to another level for sure.
BUT...has anyone else noticed a bit of the prima donna going on? Demanding bottles, kit changes the occasional overt boss gesturing and now whistling teammates into line?
Just saying...
Andy impressive on the descent again - must've been taking lessons from Spartacus this year.
I absolutely love going downhill fast. But watching these guys do it makes my palms sweat. Or it might be the 3rd cup of Seattle's Best French Roast, not sure..........
@G'phant
I said it ironically, so I think we're OK. (Jump to about a minute into the clip)
ITT preview?
Wow, I'm really beginning to hate that shitty Sidi advert.
Cripe!! Sanchez needs a heat shield he's flying so fast!
@frank
Oh fuck dude!
Yep. Get set for the Dirty Bertie alliance on the Alpe...
