Driving the roads are a hoot. They are scary at speed on a bike but I think a lot of the shots from the TDF are from the air so that perspective makes it look scarier.
I saw people of all abilities riding those roads including a couple climbing Mt. Ventoux on folders with 20 inch wheels, baskets and flat shoes! They took their time but the made it.
