Pictures of col de Galibier and Col de Lautaret

I took these pictures in 1987 when Elaine and I cycle toured on part of the route of le Tour between Briancon and Grenoble.I cycled up to the top of Col de Galibier.

Tour de France Crash

There are just too many cars involved in the tour. It would be a precedent,but I think that those two cyclists involved in crashing after being hit by the car should be given the same time as the three in the breakaway, as I am pretty sure they whould have finished together.,especially Fletcha.
