"The highlight of week 2 will be the climb up legendary Mont Ventoux. The ascent of the so-called “Bald Mountain” is rated HC, “hors categorie,” or beyond categorization, which means it is one of the most grueling climbs in road racing. It will be the sixteenth Tour de France climb of the mountain since 1951, and the tenth time a stage will finish at the top. British cyclist Tom Simpson died of heat exhaustion while climbing Mont Ventoux during the 1967 Tour de France. "
