Tour de France 2007 – Stage 9

Val d’Isère (73 Savoie, Rhône-Alpes) to Briancon (05 Hautes-Alpes, Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur) – after a well-deserved rest day on Monday, the agony continues through the Alps with another Category 1 climb and two Hors Categorie – so steep and challenging that they are outside the normal classification.
