As you saw from this week's Pano we went to the Atlantic Midi this week to visit friends. Stopping for a quick break west of Tarbes we stumbled across this statue at L'Aire des Pyrénées on the A64... It is there to commemorate the first visit of the Tour de France to the Col de Tourmalet in 1910; apparently as part of seven great climbs that day, which started at 03:30, riding 15kg bikes they travelled 326km which the winner completed in 14 hours!
