Is there any guard rail? It looks "precarious".

My favorite is from 2001 of Lance Armstrong and Jan Ullrich on Luz-Ardiden. In 2004 I was fortunate to visit this climb and it is quite stunning.

yes, there is some sort of a railing... by looking closely, you can see some thin steel posts that are connected by 2 steel wires. The ride isn't half as scary as it looks, because the road was designed for army supply caravans with mules and wagons, and therefore is quite wide.
It is the "Via dei Garantieri" with the famous salto dei granatieri" at monte Cengio and is located in the area of "sette communi" near Asiago, Italy. The rock wall goes about 700m straight down, it is virtually the end of the alps here.
Better pictures:

A beautiful MTB area, as almost all areas with these sad reminders of the mountain war in WW1 are... Mte Pasubio, Garda lake area being more popular spots.

In the pictures of Riis, I think he is looking behind him to see if the anti doping testers are coming!!

We had a contest at FWB where members were asked to post their favorite pictures. The voting came back a resounding 48% of members voted for Frankie_B's photo of PR.

I also think this one is nice, 33% grade.

I can't find the pic but I always have to smile whenever I see that Texas longhorn guy running with the American flag in the TdF.
