Must get annoying walking down to the bottom and then realising you've left the keys to the speed boat at the top.

Re: Last one to the bottom is a big girl
I was watching an extremely quick and technical descent on the tour last night and they were extremely impressive. I reckon they could get done there on a push bike quicker than we could on a motorbike.

Yes it's called Lacets de Montvernier and is part of today's Tour de France stage.

Re: Last one to the bottom is a big girl
Looks incredible would certainly love to give that a go. Recogn you would be pretty bushed after riding that section though

Re: Last one to the bottom is a big girl
They have raced down some pretty spectacular ones in fairness.
Tonight's stage will be good as it's a very challenging last day in the alps and Fromme is under pressure and attacks constantly now which could lead to some maniac descending and risk taking on the down hill sections.
