As you ascend it's hard to take in the full scenery, but the views on the way down are absolutely breathtaking. Forget the Strava Kom (it's already taken by the pros anyway) and pause for a photo!

Lautaret Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Col du Lautaret is the last climb before heading to the summit of the Col du Galibier. The Lautaret route can be quite busy; the best day to ride is Sunday, when heavy goods vehicles are banned.

Unfortunately I caught a bee sting on my left ear on the second descent today. A fellow cyclist has removed the sting.

After I was able to cool down with ice cubes in the next bar for an hour, I am quite confident that this will not affect me for the last few days.

This stage was won by the eventual overall winner, Bernard Thévenet. This was followed by …
