That climb is just barely enough for one team car , let alone a
rider . It was only 3.4 km and despite the looks, it's a very steady and
not very steep climb .
As far a teams and cars for support , "been there done that" as they
say . That's how it used to be when the TDF started. Riders in fact could
receive no support from anyone . That combined with primitive roads up and
down mountains , it was as much a sport of survival as anything else . Now
it's evolved to what it is, it is what it is .. . . lol ;-)
I love this vintage pic . . . . . pouring what is likely oil on a riders
chain . Then I noticed that guys legs . . . . . holy cow . . is that a
cyclist or body builder ? !
