I am nearly certain Phil said 75 mph but you know Phil! he may have meant kph. It seems hard to believe that they could possibly descend that fast - even the motor bikes couldn't keep pace!

Reports have mentioned that the road on the descent from Tourmalet are in much better shape than previous years, and that the riders' descent was especially fast this year, but 75 mph? That would be insane!

Actually, it was Paul who said it and he is generally dependable. I TiVo'd it back.
