DUTCH CORNER

Famous for its curve number seven, which is claimed by the Dutch supporters for many year. Here they support especially but not exclusively the Dutch riders who sweat their guts out to beat the mountain.

Since the first Tour de France in 1903, this Queen Stage has been won eight times by a Dutchman, more than any other nationality. Three of these winners won this stage even twice: Joop Zoetemelk (1976 and 1979), Hennie Kuiper (1977 and 1978) and Peter Winnen (1981 and 1983).

So far, the Alpe d’Huez was included in the Tour for 26 times, in 2013 even twice. The climb is a very special experience, both for riders as for spectators, particularly for the Dutch in corner number seven.
