Verkijk je niet op de percentages op climbf. In het begin niks onder de 13pct. Idd 17 pct sectie meteen voir je kiezen, daarna een heel stuk 12 en wat 11. Pas na 3 km onder de 10 en zakt zelden onder de 8. Stevige klim

A sustained climb of 9.3%! Little traffic, but shuttles of paragliders who know the narrow road. Pebbles after the rain. The start hurts the legs!

Montée soutenue de 9,3 % ! Peu de circulation, mais des navettes des parapentistes qui connaissent la route peu large. Cailloux après les pluies. Le départ fait mal aux jambes !
