I went up the Gorge du Cauterets to see the Route du Sud this afternoon. It looked like a super hard race, there was 28 minutes between the first and the last riders. I was about 8km from the finish on the last climb. The riders had already been over the Col d’Aspin and Col du Tourmalet. The stage was won by Anthony Charteau withVasil Kyryienka second.
