Laura Watson becomes the first British woman to conquer the Beast Of Provence
Record-setting amateur cyclist Laura Watson has just become the first-ever British woman to conquer the so-called 'Beast Of Provence' or ‘Killer Mountain' - the 1,909 metres high [6,263 ft) Mount Ventoux - six times in one day. A notoriously tough climb, it's one of the hardest mountain passes on the Tour de France circuit.
