Post-Race Show! Stage 16: Cuneo-Jausiers
Here are today's stage results and the new general classification.
Some stuff happened today at the Tour. Two mountains of unusual size were climbed. The highest road in Europe was ridden. Some of the kids went faster than the other kids. Suffering was had. Time was lost. Somebody won.
