A crazy climb, so regular in its difficulty and with such a high percentage that very few people do it by bike, especially in a country where most seasons favour the home trainer rather than the open air.

Montée de fou malade très régulière dans sa difficulté et avec un pourcentage si élevé que rare sont les personnes à la faire à vélo d’autant plus dans un pays où la plupart des saisons mettent à l’honneur le home trainer plutôt que la sortie à l’air libre
