La Marmotte 2006 - the pictures

Here now (there's the related report here) a few impressions about La Marmotte 2006:

The day before, in Alpe d'Huez (left Ingo, the right of the author)

The author of the day before on the home straight

The author at the start

at the start with 7000 other crazy ;-)

Ingo and the author at the start: even good things

In the first climb of the day: Col du Glandon

Once on Glandon

Just before the first mountain pass of the day

The author of the Col du Glandon: even the look is relaxed

The first meters to the Col du Galibier: somewhere over there is the pass!

The second turn on the Col du Galibier:
here has frozen the author in 1998 and Ullrich and Pantani cheered

attack! The pass of the Galibier is calling!

Total concentration and downhill: the descent from the Galibier
is technically demanding

suffering in Alpe d'Huez, Part 1

suffering in Alpe d'Huez, Part 2 Made it

! Ingo and the author broke, but happy at the finish

Triumph! Alpe d'Huez overcome!

still fighting for the final ascent up hundreds, while Ingo and the author already on the way down the road towards shower are

Return No. 21, ie the first bend is the largest and first ever winner of Alpe d'Huez (1952) devoted il campionissimo Fausto Coppi

Thanks to Ingo for the pictures! Who wants to see more pictures of La Marmotte, which is the complete photo album recommended by Ingo.
