Did you see last years Vuelta a Espana
That was crazy but those 20+% climbs are INHUMANE !!!

There is a climb next to where I live which is only 550m long and reach 14% (average 9%) that I rode multiple times last year when I was in my biking mood. Well, when I was done with it (I had to continue because I set that part at the beginning of my track, fortunately), I was spitting my heart out, breathing hard, almost dizzy, legs painful as hell, hands nearly cramping
When you think that the Cuitu Negru is a 23km climb (averaging 6%, up to 25 !!!). This is really scary...
With those type of stage, I understand why they dope... It's entertaining for the audience, but for the cyclist, it's just mind (and body) blowing .
And to think that in 2012, they didn't climb the Angliru...
People that shyt on cycling don't understand the beauty of the sport.
But talking about the Tour... it'ss so disappointing now and that's also why the Vuelta was beautiful too watch last year. I quitted watching a long ago (even if I still watch me a mountain stage for the madness) but still hope this year's Tour will be entertaining at least... I pray for a fratricide : Froome VS Wiggins
