This is the first time Verbier has hosted the Tour de France.
Verbier is famous for celebrity visitors and super ski runs!
The final climb to Verbier was between 7 - 9% with a touch of 12% close to the finish line. The road climb has been described as a mini Alpe d'huez yet it still tested the best.
Verbier is a very popular skiing resort with a huge fan base, the whole of the resort was out in full force to support the arrival of the cyclists.
Today, July 19th was also a super day for British rider Bradley Wiggins.
