Makes you proud.

There has been a long-standing tradition of Irish cycling fans invading Alpe d'Huez and going buck mad in support of Tour de France competitors making their gruelling ascents. Turn 10 on the steep d'Heuz climb, each year, becomes 'Irish Corner'. This year, with Le Tour heading into its final weekend, the Irish are out in force again. Here are some of the best tweets and pictures from fan central. Neville Casserly got there very early, and was in gloating form https://twitter.com/NevCass/status/624571195078389761 The party started last night and raged on until first light https://twitter.com/IrishCorner10/status/624670777015730176 Eoin Ahern cycled from Ireland to be there https://twitter.com/AhernEoin/status/624665095558311936/photo/1 Robert Daly sent this our way [beware ghost cyclist apparitions] https://twitter.com/Robbertdaly/status/624864622684864512 Our favourite flag: Any chance of a ride? https://twitter.com/IrishCorner10/status/624869716365021184 Top, top work lads. https://twitter.com/IrishCorner10/status/624885441175621632 If you have any pictures or videos from Irish Corner, send them on to us @SportsJOEdotie
