    Question about the classification of mountains on the tour

    I read on Nicolas Roche's diary that the origional classification of the mountains on the tour was due to what gear a car was used to drive up it. I can't find anything on this on the web. Is this true? Its a great fact if it is - anyone able to shed some light on it?
