Velominati Super Prestige: Le Tour de France Stage 19

Photo: John Pierce/Photosport International

After such an epic and, frankly, shocking (as in stunning, stupendifying and surprising) stage to the Galibier last night, it’s going to take more than a few hours to recover and get back on track for tonight’s VSP stage to the mythical L’Alpe d’Huez.

I think the semantics of Stage 18 have been covered brilliantly by the Community here, and there’s nothing left for me to say about it except, wow.

So without further ado, and with the maximum time for you to get your tips in, we present the VSP for Stage 19, the Queen of the climbs, L’Alpe d’Huez. Sit back and enjoy the spectacle, because if you though that was good, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet!

You know the drill. Good luck!

  • It is ON!!! Wow!! So they waited a whole 5 miles before starting to beat the shite out of each other...

  • @brett

    Great performance. That kind of endurance and ruthless prioritisation in the face of other pressing issues (family, job, life, etc.) will only strengthen your cycling skills.

  • I missed the entry as well. The VMH was streaming Purple Rain or something off Netflix. Ah well.
    Clenbutador is going to give it a go, but the metric shit ton of steak is actually just going to make him constipated.
    So tho it won't count:
    1. Cuddles
    2. angry stomach
    3. Bass-o-matic
    4. Bertie
    5. Frankster

  • Voeckler STILL hanging in!! How long can he go??

    "This is warfare!!" Say Harmon...

  • Fireworks are starting early. Looks like someone had a nice juicy steak last night.
