Today the storied tour made its way to the high mountains where the riders turn upwards toward the heavens...where the roads lie on the hills like pieces of discarded string...where men dance on the pedals of anger...the great and fearsome Col du Galibier represents the highest point in this year's race and a
high point in the career of Alexandre Vinokourov.
Vino deserved this win. His all-day breakaway was the first of this year's tour that didn't end in heartbreak. And he looked, on the slopes of the Galibier, comfortable and formidable, as if he was suffering no more than the race leader in the pack or the ghosts of great climbers before...
