STAGE 15

     Stage 15 from Valreas to Villard de Lans was a fairly tough stage.  At 180 kilometers it had only a single category 1 climb but was full of category 2's and 3's.  The finish was an uphill grunt up the final of 3 category 2 climbs.  The best photos of this stage are the post race photos.  I did not have a good position for race photos but the podium shots are decent and it keeps getting better after the podium ceremony.  This is the stage where we finally got to meet Lance.
