thanks. I asked because I don't see those as much anymore

More stages like the Galibier and the Gardeccia stage in the Giro are welcome, maybe 1 or 2 in a Grand Tour. Don't want to get spoiled!!

Trust Jobwain to know that straight off the bat Andy just recently won a mountain stage over 6 hrs.

( NOT going off at you/ being snide just remarking )

when was the last time the tour hit 7:27:14 (for the stage winner)
that for me is probably the most epic day of racing this year.

Draguignan to Briançon, 249 km. Botero stage winner in 7:56:13 after Allos, Vars and Izoard.

I really miss those long stages. One of these should be in each Tour.
