I will say a bucket list item of mine is to ride alpe d'huez
It's such a part of cycling they're doing it again tomorrow
Its not a tremendously difficult ride, its something like the 40th hardest alpine cycling ascent. I've done it on zwift and as a fat old dude I can run it about 9 mph. Ventoux is way harder.
The idea that tadej beat a pantani time here should give anyone pause. You can decide what that pause is.
My perspective here is of a 53 year old fat guy who rides bikes. Bit a cycling fan. And I don't ascribe to the idea that they can do it and I can't only because of my fat old capitalist ass. They can do it for a lot of reasons I simply can't
Let them ride

I thought his performance in Stage 6 was even more impressive, he attacked on the Col de Tourmalet and rode away from Vingegaard by more than 2 and a half minutes. He pretty much clinched the tour before the end of Week 1.
I‘m looking forward to him continuing to break records: most stage wins, most yellow jerseys, and even the wiped-out 7 Tours won by Lance.
