Didn't know climbs are scary in TDF
Hardly ever watch racing but I was in a bike shop today and they were playing a DVD of TDF while I was waiting on my bike to be tuned up. They race on this small road...like have the width of a one way road you'd take going up a mountain. There's no guard rails or anything to stop you from going over... And some of the sections looked like they had a steep drop. Imagine if someone crashes and falls over? What's even scarier is they have to descend down the road eventually...and that means high speeds. Has anyone ever fallen over a cliff and been seriously hurt. It doesn't look safe at all.
