I’m pretty sure MVDP is still on the roads, which made sense because he won Paris-Roubaix the year the new cobbled roads were released.
Of note though, the women’s winner, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot didn’t get her name on the roads that year. At least I don’t recall seeing her name. There is “Queen of the Cobbles”, but not by name.
I understand MVDP won 3 in a row, but still…
Pauline Ferrand-Prévot won the stage on Col de la Madeleine, which is only a portal experiment. I don’t know if there are honors for that climb in real life. Portals do not have any similar options.
Was there three weeks ago. This it the one on the Alpe. Dont think they have one on the Ventoux. Been there a few times also, but havent noticed it there.
