As a climb it should not really have a name, but the cobbles make this climb quite a challenge. Not for nothing are you warned on both sides for 'bad road surface'. You always wonder why nothing is done about it, but of course it has its charm. And it is probably also the reason why the pro peloton will hit this strip during the upcoming European Championships 2024. As a cobbled specialist, will MvdP make a splitting attack here?... read more

Ascending cobbled road with small cobblestones. When they are contiguous, they are doable, but some of the holes and irregularities mean you sometimes have to pay attention.

Oplopende kasseiweg met kleine kasseitjes. Als ze aaneengesloten liggen zijn ze goed te doen, maar sommige gaten en ongeregeldheden leiden ertoe dat je soms wat moet opletten.

Als klim mag ie eigenlijk geen naam hebben, maar de kasseien maken deze klim toch een flinke uitdaging. Niet voor niks wordt je aan beide zijden gewaarschuwd voor 'slecht wegdek'. Je vraagt je altijd af waarom er dan niks aan wordt gedaan, maar het heeft natuurlijk z'n charme. En het is waarschijnlijk ook de reden waarom het profpeloton deze strook zal aandoen tijdens het komende EK 2024. Zal MvdP als kasseienspecialist hier een splijtende demarrage plaatsen?

As in the Orangina ad, it shakes especially during my first experience or I have not adapted the inflation so if you think of going (think of inflation) otherwise quiet place and it gives an idea of what must be the races on cobblestones.

Comme dans la pub orangina , cela secoue surtout lors de ma première expérience ou je n'ai pas adaptée le gonflage donc si vous pensez y aller ( pense au gonflage ) sinon endroit calme et cela donne une idée de ce que dois être les courses sur pavés , vidéo de la montée https://youtu.be/zJWiHeyJxEY
