This has got bad news written all over it..... #Beijiu #china #banquet #guangzhou

Ugly spot. #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #stage19 #france #alps #mountain #views

I just managed to make the train connection. I had to run down the hill for 4kms to make the train in time to get me the 2.5hrs back to Geneva. Had a great day, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Real carnival atmosphere. #saintjeandemauriene #stage19 #tourdefrance #letour

These guys were clearly trashed.....nearly 17kms to go. Bugger... And all of it uphill! #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #letour #cycling #alps #france

The #yellowjersey #froome chasing the leaders on the stage and monitoring the contenders for this #tourdefrance #letour #saintjeandemauriene #france #alps #cycling

The chasing pack were about 45 secs behind...great spectacle and the crowd was getting wild. You can just see the #yellowjersey of #froome in the pack #saintjeandemauriene #cycling #stage19 #letour #tourdefrance #france #alps

You can really hear the support and encouragement afforded to the cyclists as they come up the road. #atmosphere #tourdefrance #saintjeandemauriene #cycling #letour #stage19

You no it's hard work when the shirt is unbuttoned and your on your own with 17km to go....#stage19 #saintjeandemauriene #cycling #tourdefrance #france #letour

It's a lonely affair when you have been dropped from the pack. Luckily the crowd clapped and cheered to keep the encouragement #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #letour #cycling #sign #stage19 #france #alps #pain

#carnival #atmosphere as the #caravan starts to roll through signalling the riders are not toooooo far away (turned out it was about 80mins. #stage19 #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #letour #cycling #alps #france

I was sitting next the the Norwegian contingent for most of the afternoon...strangely singing Irish folk songs....I was going to join in but just a little too far away.

And here the leaders come up the final climb, about 15kms to go at this part of the climb. #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #letour #cycling #france #alps #stage19

The first riders just coming up the road....most people are unsure if this is them or not. #saintjeandemauriene #tourdefrance #letour #france #cycling #alps

It's all a big party on the #tourdefrance #letour #france #saintjeandemauriene #cycling
