Also the best climb in French Alps is still Pantani beat Armstrong on his Bianchi steel vs Armstrong on his latest greatest Trek Carbon.
Now thats what we should be debating, what is the best climb in the Alps? First question is Ventoux still considered as part of the Alps, supposedly yes. If not Ventoux the hardest/memorable I have done is the Col de la Madeleine via the Lacets.
