Najtežji dan na kolesu

9. etapa dirke po Franciji je bila za gledalce spektakel, a za kolesarje pekel.

Na letošnji dirki po Franciji so traso zapeljali po kar 15. odsekih granitnih kock, kar je po letu 1983 največ. Na to so se pripravile tudi ekipe, ki so se založile z dodatnimi obroči. Ekipa Sky je ob traso postavila kar 51 dodatnih sodelavcev z obroči, ekipa LottoNL-Jumbo pa naj bi zaupala nizozemskim navijačem in jim ob trasi razdelila 96 obročev.
