Tour De France Stage 7

Tour De France Stage 7 from Ordino to Orcalis is about 2,231 feet vertical. This is a wonderful place for skiing at winter yet we will find our here who is probably better in the Tour De France. Will Lance Armstrong win this stage setting himself a duel with Contador? The Stage 7 of the 2009 Tour De France will tell us if Lance Armstrong can keep up with his fellow team mate Alberto Contador and the likes of defending champion Carlos Sastre and runner up Dennis Menchov.

When it comes to Pyreenes, Lance smells blood while the sprinters smell death. I will provide you the 2009 Tour De France Stage 7 Results just after the event. Tour De France Stage 7 2009 is from Ordino Barcelonan to Arcalis Andora. Less than a week in and the mountains arrive with the first Hors Category climb of the race. Not only does this stage introduce the peloton to this Tour's mountains but it is also the longest stage of the race at 224kms.

Early on the riders crest and descend the fourth category Cote de Montserrat, from then on it is virtually a non stop drag up towards the Pyrenees. The peloton's legs get their first real test on the category one Col de Serra-Seca, a climb of over 7.5kms to 1,160 metres, they then climb higher, to 1,249 metres on the Port del Comte before plummeting back down to 560 metres. And then the fun begins.
