In the first video produced by The Col Collective, Mike Cotty profiles one of the most popular climbs in the world of cycling: the Col du Galibier. See how the road evolves, turning from open green land on the lower slopes to an ash-like snowcapped wonderland by the summit.
This year’s Tour has had everything. Racing for time on the descents, GC contenders in breakaways, a left field maillot jaune, and a World Champion who is worth his weight in gold. And it’s not over yet. There’ll be fireworks on Alpe d’Huez tomorrow!
As I briefly mentioned in the previous post, we took a ride up Alpe d’Huez yesterday to see what all the fuss was about. This was the first time I’ve ever climbed this mythical mountain and it didn’t disappoint.
