I tried to post this earlier as an embedded file but wordpress seemed to use this as an excuse to play silly buggers with my site. In the 2001 Tour de France, Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich were climbing wheel on wheel up the Alpe D’Huez when Armstrong turned round, looked Ullrich in the eyes and just rode off the front. The speed with which he destroyed Ullrich (and every other cyclist that day) is just phenomenal. Watch in awe.
I used to work in Alpe D’Huez. That hill and the bends are absolute killers, even the buses strain going up there. I wince when I watch the Tour de France. Those men are machines.
