Today we climbed into the morning fog, to tackle Luz Ardiden at 1715 meters, which is an HC climb that has seen been featured in the TdF 8 times.

It is perhaps most famous from the crash that occurred in the 2003 TdF, when a spectator’s bag hooked Lance’s handlebar, taking him and Iban Mayo down.

Lance goes down on Luz Ardiden, taking Mayo with him as Ullrich escapes upright.

Then we did some final velo-herding.
