Last day to beat Froomey.
Who will try?
Not Team Philosophe.
Team Philosophe is taking it easy on their way up the Croix-de-Fer.
Vello: One more day and we'll be in Paris.
David: Not a day too soon.
Vello; Of course not. That would be pointless.
David: Ha ha, very good. Young Geniez looks like he's trying.
Vello: O to be young again!
David: Not too young. Have you seen Terence lately? He's sporting a Day of the Dead lap lap.
Vello: I know. Belle made it out of a cushion cover. Very handy with her needle.
David: Apparently the grinning skull put the wind up Nairo Quintano.
Vello: That may have been helpful.
David: We'll find out at the end of the day.
Team Condor is also not trying too hard on the penultimate day.
Sweezus: Come on guys, at least make a showing.
Arthur: We are making a showing.
Pablo: We're still here at least.
Arthur: Anyway, you've increased your brand reach. Look at the road.
Sweezus (looking at the road): S-W-E-Z-O-O
Arthur: That's you, famous.
Sweezus: They spelled it wrong.
Pablo: Look on the bright side.
Sweezus: What is it?
Pablo: It doesn't say F-R-O-O-M
After the summit, everyone rides down hill rapidly.
Then it's the final ascent up the legendary Alpe d'Huez.
Froomey is still going strong.
Can no one beat Froomey?
Alberto can't do it. Not this year.
Alberto: Next year I shall not do the Giro. I shall do the Tour and then the Olympics.
Rafal Majka: Bravo Alberto! Extramotivados!
Valverde and Quintana attack Froome.
Pinot rides away. He keeps going, courageous.
Quintana rides hard. He gains time on Froomey.
But Froome still has a 1.12 advantage.
Pinot comes first at the Top of Alpe d'Huez, to the joy of the French.
But now nothing (much) can stop Froomey
from being number one on the podium
in Paris tomorrow
to the joy of
his (many)
admirers.......
