Seems like 50%+ of the crowd are just there to get on TVPross said:
As a stage, it's just become one of those places idiot fans congregate because it is something they've heard of and it is over-rated as a climb.mididoctors said:

My then 5 year old climbed and then went down this descent.No_Ta_Doctor said:I'm noticing a distinct lack of "fond memories of riding La Croix" posts, tweets and group messages...
Lots of tears and haribo.
And that was just me.

I am more concerned about the gap to the bunch"If I was a 38 year old man, I definitely wouldn't be riding a bright yellow bike with Hello Kitty disc wheels, put it that way. What we're witnessing here is the world's most high profile mid-life crisis" Afx237vi Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:43 pm0

Just noticed that Pidcock wanted a bottle or gels before that next descent and didn't get it.0

That more technical section of descent has helped them open the gap back a little bit.mididoctors said:I am more concerned about the gap to the bunch

Hope that forest fire isn't too near the route.
I'll add pointless uphill sections on descents to my dislike of pointless descents on climbs.0 -
The valley is a pain for Pidcock, without that he could just ride off here and get a head start up the climb.0

I don't think it quite sums up the speed quite as much as the screenshot of him passing Louvel earlier though.ddraver said:

There'd be nobody in it apart from a couple of sad-looking tourists and it would exist purely as a front for money laundering (allegedly)Jtomesgreen said:Imagine how awful American Corner would be
