Day 4: the biggest day of the trip !
So, start from Albertville. Not really sunny yet, but encouraging.
I was going for the Galibier Pass directcly, but i changed my mind en-route. Now, go for the Glandon Pass first. I don't regret it a second because this pass is one of the best of the trip !

Up there, the car smelled of hot brakes and tires, just like after a track session...
From the Glandon to the Croix de fer.
Now, we go down to Saint Jean de Maurienne and we can start to clim the Galibier.
First pass, the Telegraph:

Really good road there also.

Now, down to Briançon, and then, the col de l'Izoard:

This is the best one of the trip. The road to climb the pass is long and large, very goos visibility, the pavement is like new, there are some quick portions, hairpins... anything you want on a decent mountain road.
