"Torment yourself, you sow!" Udo Bölt's helper is said to have yelled at his team captain Jan Ullrich on this rather second-rate pass at the 1997 Tour de France. It can no longer be determined exactly whether this is exactly the case, but at least the name of the pass "Hundsruck" actually fits the saying quite well and the website quaeldich.de, which has already been mentioned in another comment, also fits this cycling myth quite well.
