TdeF 2010, Stage 17 - Pau to Cul du Tourmalet (174 km) July 22

After the second rest day in Pau, the riders will set out for their final mountain battle. Following the Col de Marie-Blanque (1, 1035m) climb, we will head back down into the valley. After only three kilometres of flat, we will immediately get to grips with the Col du Soulor (1, 1474m), a long, long, long climb, almost 25-kilometres long! The Aubisque pass is just next to it, then the riders will head down before tackling the Col du Tourmalet (HC, 2115m). At the highest point of this Tour, the Henri-Desgrange memorial trophy will be awarded.by thunderthighs
