The Belgian-Romanian party
Toma Coconea (ROU) and Tom de Dorlodot (BEL) are racing together in 13th and 14th positions towards the Col des Fours to the southwest of Mont Blanc. You can see from the green tracks where other athletes flew over previously. Hiking is much harder and much slower, and at 2.318m the athletes may also be starting to feel the effects of altitude.
