Let’s ride 150 kilometers with 3700 meters of elevation to conclude this Tour de France Femmes. How can we do that better than with the iconic 21 legendary hairpins of Alpe d’Huez.
The grand finale of this year’s Tour de France Femmes traverses through the depths of an ancient ocean. It has been uplifted to form spectacular 3000 meter high peaks.
The ultimate test to decide who will rise to the top in yellow! 1/2

Today’s Tour de France route of stage 17 crosses the Vercors, a region rich in geology. This is #GeoTDF after all. We wouldn’t be here if there was nothing to say.
The specific geomorphology and geological history explain why the Vercors Massif was a highly disputed strategic military bastion during WWII and a shelter for French resistance.
Leny Montheil of Cerege takes us to the bottom of it once more on stage 17 of #TdF2024 .
Today: did you know that the #TourDeCouch has a side event called #TourDeFrance 🙀 It's a kind of #hedgewatch for humans on bicycles. As a #cat with geologists I recommend to check out the #geology of the #tdf2024 @geotdf - on twitter
Informative #scicomm for learning about the #geology of the #tourdeFrance. Stage 10 #volcanoes

Absolutely. I was just posting the same thing. Until I found your post via the #geotdf hashtag. Loving the details on https://www.geo-sports.org/2023/stage-4-invisible-mountains-of-salt/
Need to tempt Utrecht university geology department onto Mastodon so we can follow their posts
