With 5 categorized climbs this stage is going to create havoc in the peloton. The Col de la Colombiere is usually quite difficult from the North side, but the Tour Organizers have decided to add the col de Romme as the second to last climb. While not as famous as other climbs on the day (Cormet de Roselend, Saisies, Colombiere), this climb will be a great challenge; 8.8km at an average grade of 8.9%!!!

(Alpe d'Huez averages 7.7%)

By the races reaches the top of the final climb (col de la Colombiere), the peloton will be quite stretched and you will be there to witness it all first hand from our vantage viewing location.

Getting there? A helicopter will take you from Annecy to the top of the climb.

Once the stage is over another helicopter ride will take you directly to a small luxurious chateau for a great meal and overnight stay.

Hotel location: near Chambery

Tour Stage 18  /   Annecy - Annecy  /  Time Trial / 40km (25 miles)

With the Tour de France end nearing, all the stages become more important.

Today's individual effort around Lake Annecy will be a great opportunity for the Yellow Jersey contenders to gain time on their rivals.

This time trial also includes a short but steep climb up the col de Buffy which has the potential of creating substantial time losses.

We will be viewing the stage from our private and preferred viewing location. We are currently working on 3 different options and will select the best toward the early part of 2009.

We will be directly on the course however and will also have live TV feed to monitor the progress of the stage throughout the afternoon.

The evening will be spent back at our Chateau Hotel.
