Winners of the Tour de France Stage 17 Tourmalet Challenge!

Spoiler Alert! If you don’t want to find out the results for Stage 17 of the Tour de France, stop reading now and come back later!

First off, thanks to everyone who took the time to participate in this challenge — we hope you had fun!

Not surprisingly, the vast majority of our entries included both Schleck and Contador. They showed the world, and the peloton, that they are in a league of their own when the road tilts skyward.

The third choice proved to be more difficult. Interestingly, no one picked Ryder Hesjedal who ended 4th on the stage. His stock as a contender in the mountains is rising as fast as he climbs.

Finally, no one was able to nail the trifecta. 3 people came very close, and each had the same answer, so we used timestamps to separate first, second and third places.

Strava’s 3 winners:

All chose Schleck, Contador and Sanchez, or the 1st, 2nd and 5th place finishers on the day.

Thanks again to everyone who took part. Stay tuned for more fun challenges…
