I would really like the over-crossing of the Galibiers seen, but at the time I was probably still on the bike and my own recording begins just before the Croix de Fer. If I'm not mistaken, this photo just before the height of the tunnel - great shot! And because my [...]

Dauphiné 2009 - 5 Stage: Valverde wins on the Ventoux
Have just followed on television, as the driver at the Mont Ventoux struggled with the wind, and the celebrities sat at the screen.
