With a first part up to Le Vaudelin that is very irregular (3 successive walls) and a second part that is easier, although tiring, the côte de la Bessède offers a real duel between man and bike on sumptuous straights with their percentages!

Avec une première partie jusqu'au Vaudelin très irrégulière (3 murs successifs) et une seconde plus facile bien qu'usante, la côte de la Bessède offre un véritable duel entre l'homme et son vélo dans des lignes droites somptueuses de par leur pourcentages !
