Known from the French championship as well as the Tour de France. In 2005 Pierrick Fédrigo became champion here and in 2011 Sylvain Chavanel won the French title here. But the climb is probably better known as the finish of the 3rd stage of the 2012 Tour, where Sagan in his Tour debut won his 2nd stage. The climb even is a real wall for over 300 meters, but when the Porte de Gayole itself comes into view, the percentages decrease. After that, the climb continues for a few hundred meters parallel to the city wall with moderate percentages.
Gekend van het Frans kampioenschap als ook de Tour de France. In 2005 werd Pierrick Fédrigo hier kampioen en in 2011 haalde Sylvain Chavanel hier de Franse titel. Maar de klim is allicht bekender als de finish van de 3de etappe van de tour van 2012, waar Sagan in zijn tourdebut zijn 2de etappezege wist te behalen. De klim zelfs is ruim 300 meter een echte muur, maar wanneer de Porte de Gayole zelf in beeld komt, zwakken de percentages af. Daarna loopt de klim nog enkele honderde meters parallel aan de stadsmuur met gematigde percentages omhoog.
