Starting the Climb Alone TdF62
As the race continued on the roads of Andorra, it was the Dutch rider, Tom Dumoulin sporting the new colors of Giant-Alpecin), who arrived at the base of the final climb on his own. I want to point out that the area around the base of the inflatable de-marking the beginning of the ascent up to Andorre Arcalis, is cordoned off to prevent a repeat of the end of stage 7. It has been reported that a spectator's belt buckle caught on the plug of the generator that was keeping the arch inflated. I'm not sure a little yellow caution tape was going to keep everyone away when the race nears a summit.
