Who has done this and what was your time?rider weight? age?
I rode this back in june with a group from my cycling club.
I am more of a sprinter than a climber weighing in at 12 7lb
so not built for hills,but my time was 1hour 10mins and i am 50 years old.

Some of the lighter riders were a little quicker.

    In my late 40's I managed 65 mins but I have seen it done in around 50 mins. My partner did it on her first attempt in 90 mins having done the Galibier earlier in the day. It was her first trip to the Alps

    34, 147lb first year cycling and 52:26. That was to the main finish banner and not to the TDF finish by the way.
    I was third of my group of mates and we did it as a TT so only a flat warm up then ride up it.

    i did it in about 56 mins right to the top last year when i was 21 and about 63 kgs, made the mistake of doing it mid day when it was about 28degrees,

    I did it in 56 minutes. I was 29 (still am). It was reasonably cold and wet (bloody July though!!!). I'm 5'11" and 10st 8.

    Was really pleased to get under the hour.
