The peloton lined up for the start today knowing that they were going to suffer mightily in the coming stage. The Tour has climbed the Alpe d'Huez before, it has even done it twice during one running of the Tour, but it has never done what the peloton will be doing today. The warriors of two wheels will be making the fabled climb of 21 switchbacks twice in one stage finishing on the top of the queen of the Alps. I can only imagine what this group was feeling before they got underway. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard that was created using cake watercolors, brushes and paper from
