By Tim Maloney

This final Pyreneean stage om Tarbes to Luz-Ardiden has a rolling opener over 68 km, then the road goes up over the Cat. 1 Col d'Aspin, the monumental climb of the Col du Tourmalet (16.9km @ 7.4%) and finishes with the final uphill ascent, a tough 13.4 km haul at a 7.5% up to Luz-Ardiden.

More nice weather is on the menu for the final mountain stage of the 2001 Tour. Look for Euskaltel to go for an opportunistic win with Laiseka, while Lance and USPS will seek to control the race and watch Jan and Beloki.
