Mont Ventoux.<br />It lived up to its name, as they cleared the trees, it dawned on me last night as watched it and the windiness of it on peak, that the name is made up of two French words:<br />le vent = wind <br />tous = every, all....<br /><br />and you find it all wind as you climb it today, no doubt, thinking and praying for you.<br />Last night I held my breath as Sky train led up the climb so well, then Froome led off, after Porte did brilliant job of taking him up almost to the Chilean. Quintana has so much future potential .. <br />Am glad of early night tonight, take care, Shaz.xxShaz in Oz.CalligraphyCardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18050100007497130952noreply@blogger.com
