    Marmotte Sportif in the Alps

    Some interesting comments too - even if some turn into a fit of fist-shaking.

    Can't open / read it from phone..

    But I'd highly recommend it to anyone.. Tough day out but amazing riding and the Galibier is a beast that has to be seen.

    That comment from "QUEMEDICES" is hilarious. I think he's actually saying "My brother is as fast as Lance on drugs".

    I read it as "If Lance was clean my bro' would beat him". Wrong way of thinking though. He just needs a new bike.

    "I may have become mildly obsessive, but Tom, erstwhile laid-back wearer of baggy shorts, would slap caffeine patches on his arms on rides and had removed the tiny, plastic dust caps from his tyre valves to save weight.

    What have you done to my boyfriend?" his partner emailed. "He's wearing his heart-rate monitor in bed!" Mercifully, she neglected to say what activity he was measuring."

    Excellent article, there's few documentaries about the marmotte on you tube, well worth a watch.
