1. Mythical Port de Balès! A complicated day for the riders and their followers, 10 degrees at the summit... But a breathtaking landscape, which is why the Pyrenees are so charming. 2. Arrivals are always very emotional. Here, this rider’s grand-mother came to Pau just to congratulate him. We often don’t realise the true performance of these passionate riders, who push themselves to finish every stage, until we see how proud their relatives are on the finish line. 3. Haute Route goes through many iconic cycling climbs, here the Aubisque. I like this photo, the rider seems to be in his element, mild weather, and sumptuous lanscape. An idyllic day.
