Stage 16: Galibier and then a few other minor hills
I'm saddened to report that the rider who we have been following for so long, Sébastien Joly, the French rider on the Française des Jeux team, abandoned the Tour de France today (along with several other riders that we'll tally up later). He rode for nine days in the Lanterne Rouge spot, but had moved up significantly in the standings yesterday in a strong ride up Alpe d'Huez.More details later today.
