Mt. Ventoux on Race Day

This video will give you an idea of how crowded the race courses of the TDF were. I rode the 25km up Mount Ventoux before the Tour arrived. Half way up I met a Frenchman named Bruno wearing a California Republic jersey. He had a friend from Ireland; both guys were strong riders. We rode up the rest of the way together, taking turns leading into the 70km/hr headwinds on 8-10 percent grades.
