    I agree with Pidcock and Thomas that some of the behaviour on Alpe D’Huez has become “ridiculous”.

It’s mob mentality and yes it’s been going on for years but for some reason, maybe Covid has something to do with it, there was an intensity to the fans on the Alpe stage that was menacing at times. Not cool at all! And thanks for the comment asmyoldmumsays 😉
