Km 15.5 - L'ALPE D'HUEZ - 13.8 km climb at 7.9 % - H.C. Cat
The slowest completing tour cyclist (Wilson, AUS, 51mins 13secs) averaged 11.1mph for the 15.5kmTT. This is amazing, as I was gubbed averaging 8mph for the hill section (13.8km). It makes Lance's time all the more impressive (an average of 14.6mph).
I think all the holidaying Wheelers agreed, that seeing the tour cyclists at speed up Alpe D'Huez was amazing, and gave you the utmost respect for their fitness and dedication. Some of the expressions on the rider's faces were priceless, and hopefuly a few photographs will be distributed in the weeks ahead so others can see. The highlight for me was seeing the beast Ullrich ride past at speed, total concentration on his face, on trispoke and tri-bars... I was sure he'd won the stage. It made Armstrong's stage victory all the more remarkable.
And a final note...
From the official tour website discussing Stage 16 ...
"Marco Pantani etched his name into the history books with his conquests at L’Alpe d’Huez. This mark of 37 minutes 35 seconds was expected to fall today because the mountain was the only challenge of the stage unlike the day ‘Il Pirata’ reached the climb after 189km were already covered. But Armstrong’s efforts, as impressive as they were, fell short. By just one second!"
The pirate will be sorely missed.
Looking forward to the next holiday guys.
Scott
