Susana and I found our positions at 11:00 a.m. near the top of the climb, inside the 3km mark, around the hairpin turn, and immediately across from the sign for the town of Alpe d’Huez. We’re not in a photogenic spot as the barricades start 5km from the finish, but we’ll be able to see the race for almost 2km below. For those following on TV, I’m wearing a dark blue shirt, red hat, Susana a yellow jersey and blue hat. Now we just need to wait 5 hours for some action, beyond the shopping cart races, marching bands, and other spontaneous parades.

Go Floyd!
