An excellent entry for the ultimate croissant |
The excellently organised peloton with only the one gapping gap |
Stunning mountain views on the way up |
Crossing the summit finishing line |
A fast descent down the other side. |
Today's first stop in a village somewhere in the Pyrenees |
More average French Croissants |
Road ahead was closed |
Lunch had to be taken by a pond rather than top of a climb |
Walking on freshly topped roads to save our tyres |
Although the photo doesn't do it justice it was as very steep road |
Reaching the summit ahead of my rivals (not that they knew they were) |
Chasing the group ahead on the way to my first stage win |
