It always seems to be covered in Snow when they try to race up it.

Much more enjoyable with the Italian commentary; not a clue what they are saying, and probably just as much bollocks as Kirby but it sounds much better. "Maaagleeeya Rrrrrrrrrrothhhsa"

PFP has joined Canyon SRAM. Their kit is lively
The Alpe d'Huez rise is about 1100m I think, to a height above sea level of 1,860. Stelvio tops out above 2,700m from memory? Got to say Stelvio is a much greater challenge, just less iconic

You are correct, I had misremembered max elevation for rise, which is 1124m (726 to 1850). I must admit I didn't remember Alpe D'Huez being that high. I'll edit the OP.
Even if they were the same-ish height Stelvio would be much more of a challenge. At 50% again, it's clearly much harder. I don't know about less iconic, though, it has a massive and fearsome reputation in cycling, motorcycling and motor rallying, it just isn't on our TVs every year crammed with mad fans.

Didn't he do well in the Giro this year? Don't know if he would be leading the team, but it would be good to see Sky with a pink jersey
