this is the youth race of the Tour de France. Competitors are under twenty three, a bit like the GP2 I guess. Yesterday the tour came past the end if my road on the fourth stage . It came from Megev and was finishing the stage at La Rossiere. They were cycling up the road I cycled up the other week. It was exciting watching the bikes and support cars come through, and all the gendarmes on motorbikes. The GB SKY team had a few issues. Any one wanting to read a bit more can do so here. www.britishcycling.org.uk/gbcyclingteam/article/20150827-gb-cyclingteam-reports-Tough-day-for-Great-Britain-as-Tour-de-l-Avenir-reaches-the-high-mountains-0Theres talk that in the next years ir so the Tour itself will come through there...which will be MEGA! anyway here are a few pics if the event.

Is that your chalet in the background of the middle picture? That's such a great thing to witness, you may have taken a picture of a future TDF winner there.

No that's not my chalet. My chalet was behind me up the road a bit. That little Hamlet is called Le Chatelard. My chalet is in an even smaller Hamlet on the next zig zag up of the road, called La Combaz. It I overlooks that church. I'd just walked down the road a bit to see the bikes coming through La Chatelard, then the close ups as they came up towards me.
