Stage 11 & 12 of the 2022 Tour will long be remembered
The Col du Granon served up a Classic as good as it was when the Tour last raced up there
Bastille Day fireworks came a day early as the TDF exploded on the slopes of the Col du Granon as Vingegaard took the yellow jersey from Tadej PogačarSerre Chevalier and Briancon are slowly returning to normal after a manic week of cycling.
This time last week it was the L'Etape du Tour and then Wednesday and Thursday served up two brilliant days of TDF racing.
The valley was just full of cyclists. And finally the Col du Granon will not be the poor cousin to the Izoard and Galibier when it comes to featuring in a stage of the Tour. However, due to the steep gradients it will still probably not be as popular a ride as the Izoard and Galibier.
Thursday saw the peloton race up through the valley towards the Lautaret and on up the Galliber resulting in a stunning victory for Tom Pidock at Alpe D'huez.
The videos below capture in one minute, the atmosphere of the Etape du Tour and two days of theTour here in Serre Chevalier...
