Comment
The Col du Tourmalet is an integral part of the "legend of the Tour". It was used for the first time in 1910 during the first major Pyrenean stage. Octave Lapize led the way over the Col du Tourmalet on July 21, 1910, during the 325 km stage from Luchon to Bayonne, the first ascent in the history of the Tour. On this occasion, he shouted at the organizers: "You're murderers! Since then, the Tour de France has climbed it 79 times, more than every other year. It is the pass that has been crossed most often by the race, all mountain ranges included. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Col_du_TourmaletNordic gold token = right-hand photo "PARIS" in bold.
