Today we first went downhill before taking the Col de Aspin. Then came the Tourmalet in sunny 25 degrees 😅

Today the mountains with the relatively even gradient were on the plan. The sun banged even more than on the days before. The descents went great on the best asphalt. The good crepes at Peyresourde are also unbeatable in terms of price, 12 pieces for 7€.

This is the best stage I've had! I had very good sensations on the climbs up the pass and I really enjoyed the descents.

A small souvenir photo, at the same spot as 2 years ago, at the col de Peyresourde.

After two rest days, a challenging stage was on the agenda today: first the Tourmalet, then the Col d'Aspin, and finally Pla d'Adet, a rather desolate ski resort at an altitude of 1,680 m in summer.
This was also the 11th stage in the "original" version; however, it began in Pau and took place on July 8, 1975. The winner …
