The Famous Tour De France comes to Verbier
On July 21st a stage of the famous cycle race comes to Verbier
A new stop-over town on the Tour de France, the Swiss ski resort has already played host to a number of decisive stages on the Tour de Suisse. The final climb, more than 9 kilometres long, provides the possibility for riders in top form to forge gaps, or at least triggers head on confrontation. For the record, in the last mountain finish in Switzerland on the Tour de France, in 1984, Laurent Fignon outclassed all opposition by winning, in yellow, at Crans-Montana, his third alpine stage of the year.
