Does anyone know where I can find the top ten fastest ascents of Mt. Ventoux and/or Alpe d'Huez in Tour de France history?

Here are the top 10 Alpe d'Huez times on wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpe_d%27Huez#Ascent_times)
For Mont Ventoux the record was held by Jonathan Vaughters for many years.

I believe Iban Mayo beat JV's record and I think it still stands with the requisite caveat!

Looks like the record for Ventoux is 55:51 by Iban Mayo in the 2004 Dauphine Libere (http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2004/jun04/dauphinelibere04/?id=results/stage4#res).
Good old le dopage was involved non?

That's the day that Lance called the UCI on Tyler if you believe Hamilton's story - which I do.

There is a reason that the * character is included on your keyboard when speaking of "records".

I've tried looking for Ventoux times; problem is, the climbs are almost always part of a longer stage, so there's never a definitive bottom-to-top time.
