Landslides may mean the Galibier is cut from the 2015 Tour de France

Tour de France organisers ASO have found themselves with a bit of a headache less than two weeks before the start of the race as the Galibier looks likely to be scrapped from the penultimate stage.

A landslide that occurred on April 10 has led to the Tunnel du Chambon, on the D1091 between the Galibier and Alpe d’Huez, closing for repairs, with fears that the work will not be completed before the Tour comes to town.
