48:35 up last 15 kms of Mont Ventoux. Then Froome (and Quintana) both needed oxygen for several minutes.

Record for Mont Ventoux in a TdF is Lance Armstrong 48:33, then Contador 48:57, then Armstrong/Pantani 48:59. Two of those times are invalid, of course. No record of wind conditions which could be hugely significant.

Not sure what the all time record is, but a ride that doesn't first have 150 kms of racing isn't really comparable.
