THE ROUTE
In 1949, Fausto
Coppi (right) won
Stage 17 on the
Iseran and went on to
win the Tour overall.
THE ROOF OF THE TOUR
Stage 19 is relatively short but it takes the peloton over the brutal Col de
l’Iseran, the highest point on the 2019 Tour, before dropping them down for
a final climb up to a summit finish in the Tignes ski resort. BY GILLES LE ROC’H
