This is the hill of the 1988 world championship, the place where Claude Criquielion was pushed into the railings by Steve Bauer and crashed in the final sprint. I was watching it live on TV from my home in Grenoble... A vivid and unfortunate memory.
Apart from that, this climb is not very attractive in itself: not very steep and with a lot of traffic. Fortunately, there are many variants: Fiertelmeers, Groeneweg, Nieuwe Kruisberg (or Oude Kruisberg, depending on your choice)...
C'est la côte du championnat du monde 1988, l'endroit où Claude Criquielion s'est fait tasser dans les balustrades par Steve Bauer et a chuté dans le sprint final. Je regardais ça en direct à la télévision de chez moi à Grenoble… Un souvenir marquant et malheureux.
À part cela, cette côte n'a rien de bien attrayant en elle-même : peu pentue et forte circulation automobile. Heureusement, de nombreuses variantes existent : Fiertelmeers, Groeneweg, Nieuwe Kruisberg (ou Oude Kruisberg, c'est selon)…
Climb from Ronse up through a suburb. Cobblestones are bad and slippery, but there is enough space to choose your path. Not really beautiful, ends on the main road.
Klim vanuit Ronse omhoog door een buitenwijk. Kasseien liggen er slecht en glad bij, maar er is ruimte genoeg om je pad te kiezen. Niet echt mooi, eindigt op de grote weg.
This one has no cobblestones, you just follow the N60 from Ronse. You're talking about the Oude Kruisberg, parallel to the Oudestraat.
Deze heeft geen kasseien, men volgt gewoon de N60 vanuit Ronse. Je hebt het op de Oude Kruisberg, parallel gelegen (Oudestraat)
