Tour de France: What's the difference between the mountains? |
The commentators for the Tour de France keep mentioning that some riders prefer the Alps to the Pyrenees and vice versa. Does anyone know what makes the two mountain ranges so different to ride? the pyrenean climbs are steeper, generally somewhat shorter, and the roads are narrower and in worse shape. the alps are, by contrast, longer and gentler, with better pavement. the climbing syles of the individual riders are suited to one or the other (or neither), but not usually both types. |
