    The commentary hyperbole also went up several gears.
    Straight out of the Kirby/Hatch playbook

    I doubt it was 23% somehow at that point!

    That last 1Km giving me horrible memories of my local wall, Dell Rd, that hits similar gradients for a much shorter distance. :s

    I’ve watched it all, and enjoyed it immensely although today’s stage was actually quite dull.
    My two least favourite commentators made the whole event quite a struggle to watch though.

    I suppose they can do similar parcours heading to the massif ...

    Two mountain stages and no tt is probably a bit much for 8 days. Another hilly stage with a puncheur finish would have maybe fit better
