As in the first trip up Alpe d'Huez, Riblon was dropped by Van Garderen on the steeper parts of the climb, but I think he found comfort in knowing that he had got the BMC man at the top on the first climb and was confident that he could repeat that feet. Riding with the hopes of every Frenchman along the road and throughout the country he did catch TeJay just before the red kite of one K to go. Buoyed by the dreams of his country winning a stage in their 100th Tour of their homeland, he jumped right by his adversary and rode the air of French faith to the top of the mountain. He was aware enough to tell his team director to move so he could take the inside corner of the coming turn. France now has their first victory in the 100th Tour de France, the USA is still looking for theirs. And for the record, AG2R is a French team as well.
