That picture does not do the hill justice.12.9 kms in just over 40 mins does though.sogood wrote:Poor guy!

I watch the highlightrs on SBS last night and none of the footage really conveyed the steepness of those hills. Wife was sitting there say it doesn't look very steep.bongo wrote: That picture does not do the hill justice.12.9 kms in just over 40 mins does though.

If Caisse D'Epargne's employee of the month award is not sitting on his desk by the end of May, Australia's Neil Stephens should be one unhappy directeur sportif. With team cars banned on Tuesday, Stephens braved the Plan de Corones with only a bike wheel and an amusingly large helmet. He powers into view behind David Arroyo at around 1.08.
