The opinion of Jean-François Pescheux: The arrival of the high mountain
"The first major pass, the Hourquette of Ancizan, buttress Aspin, is new on the Tour. Next up Tourmalet. After the descent step ends with the ascent of Luz-Ardiden, no longer in the program since 2003. That year, Armstrong had fallen due to a bystander, resulting in his fall Mayo. Everyone waited, then he barefoot. But ultimately, the American had dropped all his competitors to win and consolidate his yellow jersey. After this stage, 211 kilometers long, we will have an overall a little more prepared and a little more structured. "
