(Watch) Haute Route Pyrenees Hits the Tourmalet

Contrasting yesterday’s green hidden valleys, today was all about the high alpine gems for Stage Four in the 2021 Haute Route Pyrenees. The skies cleared after Peyresourde, revealing the Haute Pyrenees in all its glory. Then it was on to the Hourquette d’Ancizan and the mighty Tourmalet. It was a huge effort from riders after an epic 173-kilometre stage yesterday. Clocking 120km and 3300m from Bagnères de Luchon to Argelès-Gazost, the stage was a true triumph over these giants of the Pyrenees.
