Tour de France Highlights Season 2016 Episode 16 - Stage Fifteen

Airdate: 2016-Jul-17

Episode summary:

Gary Imlach and Chris Boardman present highlights of stage 15. In 2012, Thomas Voeckler won the stage over the super-category Gran Colombier, the giant of the six certified climbs along today's high mountain stage, while Bradley Wiggins defended the yellow jersey. Today's stage approaches the Gran Colombier from the opposite side, and the riders, after completing the descent and crossing the finish line, are then sent back to do it all over again - not the entire pass, but the twisting, writhing, utterly fascinating bootlaces or shoestrings of the Gran Colombier. This will almost certainly supply some of the most memorable images of this year's race. Commentary by Ned Boulting and David Millar with Daniel Friebe reporting from the roadside.
