Im curious to know how fast the climbers can climb up the Alpe d'Huez...not time wise but speed wise. The paper focus's around the suffering that the racers endure during the tour de france...also if you know of any good tour de france websites that would be great
Pantani set the fastest time up Alpe d'Huez at 38'01". The climb is 15 kilometers. Do the math.

Approx 15mph. About 2x as fast as me over a MUCH longer distance :)
