Hi Guys
Today was stage 16 of the Tour with the GC contenders attempting to get some time back on Contador. Our ride was up the Col du Petit-Saint-Bernard. 22.7km average gradient @ 5.1%. It is a nice steady climb for the group to test their legs before tomorrow’s ride which has 3 category climbs! After a quick photo at the top of the left over snow and KOM banner we descended down into the local village to watch the race come by before heading inside to watch the final on TV and also to rehydrate!!
Even though Contador is now the outright leader for Team Astana, Lance was still able to show he has some spring in the old legs. Tomorrow’s stage will again be a chance for the GC contenders to claw back some time on Contador, it won’t happen but will be fun to watch!
I hope everyone is enjoying their training and i look forward to catching up with everyone next week.Cheers Gilly
