Now once I hit Alpe d’Huez I knew it was going to be crazy but it was even worse, and on several points it was downright scary ! Fans were really pushing the limit and being dangerous and I think my team car ran over 50 pairs of feet and probably hit another 50 with the mirror.
And I just want to say one thing: Fans, please don’t tap me on the shoulders! I don’t know how many fans tapped me—probably 200. And each time it is like I am getting slapped. Please feel free to yell and scream, but please don’t tap me on the back. I’m in enough pain already!
