Great day on Alpe d’Huez.<\/p>\n

Tension here on Alpe d’Huez! #tdf<\/p>\n

Galibier was snowing at 2600m. Massive climb.<\/p>\n

Telegraphe, Galibier, Telegraphe today. Hard work especially hungover. Might do Galibier from other side to see Le Tour tomorrow. #ccwtdf<\/p>\n

Galibier and Telegraphe today. Hangover, check. #ccwtdf #drunks<\/p>\n
