Galibier before breakfast, with the subrise, before the traffic and while the marmots were still squeaking.
- Role: subject
- In the article: A short photo post. The riders climb the Galibier at sunrise before breakfast, ahead of the traffic, and count “three marmots on the way up, another two on the way down”, perched on boulders.
- Why it matters: The pass is the post’s main subject; the day continues over the col du Sarenne and down Alpe d’Huez to Grenoble.
