Arriver au bas du col est sans doute la partie la plus désagréable, tant la circulation sur la T20 est dangereuse pour les vélos.
Une fois l'ascension débutée, on est dans un col régulier, qui passe d'abord par un joli village, puis les kilomètres s'enchaînent en se ressemblant, la pente n'est jamais faible mais jamais insurmontable. Pas de circulation, et des jolis paysages. Goudron de qualité correcte (pas un billard, mais pas du tout abimé). Après un petit replat bienvenu, la fin est dure (ça se "corse" !) mais comme on sait qu'on touche au but, ça passe ! En haut, pas de panneau de col... mais des cochons corses en bon nombre. Une bonne idée est de descendre sur Bastelica puis d'enchainer avec la montée à la station de ski du Val d'Ese (voir page dédiée sur ce site)
