Shoddy’s TDF recon: The Grand Colombier, a TDF battleground

I'm just home from riding the Col du Grand Colombier, you know the one. It has a wild bunch of hairpins early on that stack on top of one another up a rock face. The climb jumps up on its own sitting like a Walnut Whip at the top of Lac Bourget, north of Aix-le-Bains.

This will be the site of a possible showdown of Tour de France contenders, who will battle it out before the second rest day. It's steep, iconic and wide open at the top. We decided to check it out.
