what'll the average speed be in the descents then? A friend did the etape this year and said that he thought he was going like a rocket down the hill, scared shitless, then he's just hear insane screaming of someone's freewheel as they tore by him. I don't mind descending as a rule but hate the idea of being bunched together doing it... still, pretty effing excited-found cheap digs in Huez for a week to do some more riding after (optimistic?) but not staying for the tour proper which is a shame but is too expensive ;(
I never even thought of the tunnels! Will stay away from the folk with dark glasses on in case I end up like princess Di ;)
