Frank and I must have both posted at the same time, as I did not read this post (and Frank could not have read mine), but we both reachd the same conclusion: Floyd wins on Tuesday. We also agree that the climb from the Maurienne to Glandon-Croix-de-Fer is its own kind of delicious hell. I sagged a group of about 6 on the Croix de Fer on a hot day in 2004.
