Michael Rasmussen about legendary Aubisque: ‘For me it was literally the end of my career’ | Tour de France

By Daan Hakkenberg

Michael Rasmussen still breathes cycling. He has been glued to the screen in the press room of the Tour de France for more than three weeks. With yellow earbuds and his laptop. In between, he is this week as a reporter for the Danish newspaper and website Extra Bladet cycled up the Aubisque. The monster climb in the Pyrenees today is the first of three mountains in a very difficult stage that will determine whether Rasmussen’s compatriot Jonas Vingegaard will win the Tour.
