Fan graffiti and rider names painted in bold white letters mark the tarmac as it climbs toward the jagged, snow-streaked peaks of Col du Galibier, a tribute to the day's protagonists scrawled by supporters before the race arrives. This stage of the 2011 Tour de France produced one of the era's most iconic rides, as Andy Schleck launched a solo attack on the Col d'Izoard, paced early by teammate Jens Voigt, and soloed to victory at the highest finish in Tour history, with brother Frank Schleck following him home in second. This image is part of Tino Pohlmann's _arena series, a tribute to the beauty and grandeur of the Tour de France through its two essential collaborators: the rugged, wild mountains of France, and the hundreds of thousands of fans who transform that natural landscape into the world's largest open-air sporting venue.
