Thank heavens it's the easy side and the GC riders have another day off.
Actually, think about that horrible climb near you, the one a mile from me is 25%, the steepest bit is about 50m long and the entire mountain is about 500m. 8km with an average of 9%+ is quite unpleasant, or fucking vicious, whichever hurts more, particularly when attacks happen late in the steeper part of the easy incline.
The GC is far from over, although Bernal looks imperious, so did Simon (Philip) Yates in the first two weeks not so long ago.
