Googled the shit out of it and to be honest bot sure what I'm looking for.

A friend has signed up for a Triathlon in 3 weeks, which has the Alpe D'huez as part of the cycle.

Does the Tour pass ride this climb this year, checking the apps etc, it's not specifically mention and might be known only by the nearest town.

Want him to see it on Eurosport so he has an idea of the challenge.

Cheers

    Not this year. Should be plenty of previous ascents on Youtube, though.

    They don't do Alpe D'Huez this year, but they can all give it a cheery wave as they pass by the bottom of it when they go through Le Bourg D'Oisans on Saturday - this is the nearest town to the foot of the climb.
