Loved watching Aru claw his way back to Purito at the end to keep it close. How deep did he have to dig for that surge!?

Frank Schleck! Yay for him. Biggest win in a long time, and yes, good for a floundering Trek team @busygizmo. You think he was gassed at the end?
Cruel doesn't cover the half of it. I'm curious how roads that steep can even be paved. 20% is right about the point it gets hard/impossible to park a car on a road...nvm construction equipment to build roads.
