The stage of the day
It’s now or never. because the Tour de France does not yet done four weeks, the arrival of the 21st stage atop l’Alpe-d’Huez and the latest attempt to attack when Chris Froome and his yellow jersey. Because the peloton will still fader a big, big day. The program includes two hors-category passes. The Iron Cross (29km at 5.2%) as input should do big damage. And for dessert, it will be THE classic Tour with the rise of Alpe-d’Huez and its 21 bends and atmosphere of football stadium. You know the music, you know that this is not the hardest cervical global bike, but it can all happen

Early stage
Quintana Attack from 0 kilometer! Movistar set fire to the input race to try to burn the yellow jersey Chris Froome! So it would be nice … but it will not happen. The Spanish team seems much stick to its 2nd and 3rd places for Quintana and Valverde. Then it becomes the biggest ally of Sky for the last difficult stage of the Tour de France. Unable to leave the pack if you are in the top 15. Bardet just can he assure his polka dot jersey by passing the head at the top of the Croix-de-Fer. In Alpe d’Huez, the regulars are still there. Quintana attack with Valverde in the 20th of 21 turns. They cross the line hand in hand under the amused eye of Chris Froome who knows he has won. “We tried everything yet, but Chris was too strong,” grieve in chorus the two bosses of Movistar. Mythos.
