Maybe, but probably not. They seem less keen on back to back Alpe d'Huez showings these days. Only been done once in the last 20 years i think. I hope they bring back La Plagne soon.0 -
I think they try to let the environment revocer for a year at least these day.
Two years in a row is unlikely.0 -
In 1979 there were two stages that finished on Alpe d'Huez.0

Yes or you could always ask cycling fans on a cycling site. If it was too much trouble for you to reply why not just ignore the thread?0
