A legendary climb, regularly used by the Tour de France.
The surface is very good and the view of Mont Blanc superb.
In the end, it wasn't as hard as I'd feared, with gentler sections at the start and finish. The real hard part is in the middle of the climb with 1km at almost 11% without respite (with passages at over 12%).
Allows you to move on to the climb to Combloux, Cordon or Megève.

Une montée mythique par son histoire, empruntée régulièrement par le Tour de France.
Le revêtement est très bon et la vue superbe sur le Mont-Blanc.
Au final moins dur que je ne le craignais, il y a des zones moins pentues au début et à la fin. La vraie partie dure est au milieu de l’ascension avec 1km à près de 11% sans répit (avec des passages à plus de 12%).
Permet d’enchaîner sur la montée de Combloux, Cordon ou Megève.

Short but steep. Nice to do if you're passing through. You can then climb up to Combloux and on to Cordon. Great views of Mont Blanc and the surrounding area guaranteed.

Court mais raide. Surtout très irrégulier donc trouver son rythme n'est pas simple. Sympa à faire si vous passez par là #BernardHinault1980. Permet ensuite de monter à Combloux puis tirer Cordon. Belle vue sur le mont blanc et les environs garantie.

Virtually climbed via the Zwift Climb Portal.

I had previously climbed the Côte de Trébiac and afterwards caught up with a RoboPace group that was - unbeknownst to me - climbing the virtual Mont Ventoux. That explains, on the one hand, why my legs felt so heavy while virtually climbing the Côte de Domancy....

The Côte de Domancy is above all an erratic climb. Steep sections to over 13% alternate with running sections of around 4-6%, with even the occasional flat or even descending section. This way, you never get into a rhythm.
On the other hand, of course, you could argue that it is a climb in "steps" with some respite on the less steep sections.
The stretch between kilometres 1.1 and 1.6 is murderous. You try to stay on the pedals as long as possible, which allows you to maintain a decent and tight pace, but you have to sit down after a while anyway. It's a tough stretch, but you're nowhere near there by then. If you blow yourself up here, you'll have a damn hard time in the last kilometre, where a bouncer of no less than 21% awaits you...

Whether you climb it virtually or in real-life, the Côte de Domancy is a stunner!

Virtueel beklommen via de Zwift Climb Portal.

Ik had eerder de Côte de Trébiac beklommen en nadien ingepikt op een RoboPace-groepje dat - zonder ik het wist - de virtuele Mont Ventoux aan het beklimmen was. Dat verklaart enerzijds waarom mijn benen zo zwaar aanvoelden tijdens het virtuele beklimmen van de Côte de Domancy...

De Côte de Domancy is vooral een grillige beklimming. Steile stroken tot boven de 13% wisselen af met lopende stukken van om en bij de 4-6%, met zelfs af en toe een vlak of zelfs dalende strook. Op deze manier geraak je nooit in een ritme.
Anderzijds kan je natuurlijk stellen dat het een klim in "trapjes" is, waarbij je op de minder steile stukken even respijt krijgt.
De strook tussen kilometer 1.1 en 1.6 is moordend. Je probeert er zo lang mogelijk op de trappers te staan, en zo kan je een deftig en strak tempo aanhouden, maar zitten moet je na een tijdje sowieso. Het is een lastige strook, maar je bent er dan nog lang niet. Als je je hier opblaast dan krijg je het nog verdomd moeilijk in de laatste kilometer, waar er nog een uitsmijter van liefst 21% op je wacht...

Of je hem nu virtueel of in real-life beklimt, de Côte de Domancy is een klepper!

I already had the climb to Bettex by the Cote des Amerands in my legs when I attacked the foot and frankly it is not as hard as I thought that day I had really good legs (both)
Finally for the amateurs it is to make at least once in its life for me it is made on May 19, 2018.

J'avais déjà la montée au Bettex par la cote des Amerands dans les jambes lorsque j'ai attaqué le pied et franchement elle n'est pas aussi dure que je le pensais ce jour là j'avais vraiment des bonnes jambes ( les 2 )
Enfin pour les amateurs elle est à faire au moins une fois dans sa vie pour moi c'est fait le 19 Mai 2018.
C'est dans cette ascension que Bernard Hinault a laminé ses adversaires lors du championnat du monde 1980.
