A straight stretch to start with, interspersed with a few short flats... Then some pretty hairpin bends (lots of gravel) between 13 and 15 ％ that offer no respite! A tough, terrible challenge!... read more

Une ligne droite pour commencer entrecoupée de quelques courts replats... Ensuite de jolis lacets (beaucoup de gravillons) entre 13 et 15 ％ qui n'offrent aucun répit ! Un défi âpre, terrible !

First km goes well, second is awful. Never under 15％ until 20％
Choose the right gear ratio 😉

Première km passe bien, le deuxième est affreux. Jamais sous les 15％ jusqu'à 20％
Choisir un braquet adapté 😉

I already had the Tourmalet in my legs and then came this pustule. Furious, 35 degrees and you hardly meet anyone. It's only a few km, but you're constantly riding in the red and it's nowhere easy. Even the hairpins are steep

Ik had de Tourmalet al in de benen en toen kwam deze puist. Loeizwaar, 35 graden en je komt nauwelijks iemand tegen. Het is maar een paar km, maar je rijdt voortdurend in het rood en hij is nergens makkelijk. Ook de haarspeldbochten zijn stijl
