It's July 14, therefore it's Bastille Day. And another day on the Tour. It's the monster stage of this year's Tour" Pau-Hautacam. It's got two hors category climbs, the Tourmalet and the ski town of Hautacam.

What a battle on those two slopes! It brought the GC contenders to the fore and showed who the pretenders are. Cadel Evens, Frank Schleck and the American, Christian Vande Velde in the former, and Valverde in the latter.

That's just awesome.

Let's go for a ride up the side of a mountain!
