Tomorrow, Saturday 20 July, is the last day of Le Tour de France in the Alps, before this epic race ends Sunday in Paris.  This last day in the mountains contains a big obstacle to overcome, on 'Col de Semnez'.  After 114 kms. on the bike, a 16km climb, from Quental to the top at Annecy-Semnez. The 8.5 % (degree) grade will once again be decisive in deciding the final General Classification of this mega cycling event.
