Stage 17 in the Tour de France has been a very intense one, with riders crossing the Alps from France to Italy and reaching a summit at 2000m (picture on the left).After three hard climbs uphill, the final sprint was downhill to eventually reach the end of the stage in Pinerolo (photo below).
Curiously, two riders: Jonathan Hivert and the holder of the maillot jaune Thomas Voeckler stepped out of the road on a difficult curve and entered the couryard of a house by the side of the road: perhaps to say hi to a relative or accepting the very welcoming hospitality by locals!?An amateurial video seems to suggest that the owner of the house felt glad not to have parked the car in the courtyard that day!
Movie tip (from Repubblica.it): Check out a famous Italian b-series movie in which the main character and his colleagues engage in a clumsily ironic bike race in Pinerolo!
