Ned BoultingHOST
Yeah, yeah.
Ned BoultingHOST
Oh, and a nice little, a nice little sort of po- point of note, wasn't it, wh- when, um, Carapaz and Kuss got together after their, their attacks, is that was like a replay of the Alpe d'Huez stage, wasn't it?
David MillarHOST
Oh, yeah.
Ned BoultingHOST
It was Carapaz and Kuss once again.
Johan BruyneelHOST
But, um, but yeah, I mean, listen, C- Ca- Carapaz is just incredible, and Sepp Kuss, by the way, in the third week of a Grand Tour.
Johan BruyneelHOST
You know, you, at some point when they went away, uh, the two of them, you know, I, I, I was, I had flashbacks, you know, that these are the same two guys that were together in front on stage 19 and 20 of the Tour de France on Alpe d'Huez, the two stages.
Johan BruyneelHOST
Same two guys.
Spencer MartinHOST

Jelle GeensHOST
Yeah, definitely.
Jelle GeensHOST
Especially like, yeah, she won Alpe d'Huez Troutman like a lot of times.
Jelle GeensHOST
And then she this year, like just rode Alpe d'Huez in TT position.
Jelle GeensHOST
Like that's crazy.
Jelle GeensHOST
Like I find this quite hard, like going steep uphill at like 20 Ks an hour in TT position.
Aaron RoyleHOST
It's bloody
Jelle GeensHOST
hard.
Aaron RoyleHOST
She probably did Alpe d'Huez in TT Musician at 30 RPMs.
Joe SkipperHOST
And then afterwards, part of our thing was driving the Route Napoleon, which is a really scenic route through the Alps, good for driving all the way to Chamonix.
Joe SkipperHOST
And we stopped off like at the bottom of Alpe d'Huez and went up the quad affair, all those like nice mountain roads.
Joe SkipperHOST
Like, and it was like me and mine, the guy that I used to do the previous podcast with, who was in his, like, it was in a Ferrari.
Joe SkipperHOST
And then like some other guys in like Porsches and we were all in like convoy and stuff doing it.

I found when I was cornering quite hard, especially when you're kind of locked in the saddle and your bars are kind of twisting at a slightly different axis, you can feel the whole frame flex underneath you.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And when you're in twisty descents, you know, we are at Alpe d'Huez at the moment, but, you know, a lot of my roads back home as well, it gave me the feeling of being quite imprecise in the corners, which I wasn't particularly a great fan of.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
The flip side to that, it must be said, this is extremely comfortable.
speaker_7SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Okay.
JimHOST
Yeah, it's a really interesting question.
JimHOST
I always, my standard response used to be, unless you're doing the Alpe d'Huez triathlon, you should always do a triathlon bike.
JimHOST
But I do think that the answer is a little more nuanced than just the standard response I have.
JimHOST
So I don't know, what are you, I mean, what are you thinking? How does the course look to you?
Mike ReillyGUEST
And it was.
Mike ReillyGUEST
I go, well, this is, yeah, Alpe d'Huez with all the switchbacks was kind of a pain in the ass, but the grade at Palomar was like the same as there, so...
Nicholas ChaseHOST
I used to use that mountain as a time trial effort every year to see if I was getting stronger.
Nicholas ChaseHOST
And I'd always try to get closer to Chris Horner's time.
Zach VogtHOST
They were talking about this.
Zach VogtHOST
And he said, "Now, you have to take risks if you want to like even compete for stages like this." And it showed him there was a pack that had broken away of like three or four, and Pidcock was like, "Check, watch this." And he caught them from the peloton on that descent, and ends up, I think it was the, uh, the one I was watching where it was at the Alpe d'Huez stage, think it was stage 12, and he lands at the bottom having caught them.
Zach VogtHOST
And I think he ends up winning that stage as the youngest to ever win on Alpe d'Huez.
Anthony HerringtonHOST
He did.
Zach VogtHOST
It, incredible.
Titus O'ReilyHOST
