Some nice views. Sometimes stretches of 6 to 7 per cent. Sometimes fairly flat, chance to recuperate. Last 1.5 km is the toughest. Climbed at 35 degrees, which was even toughest. Descent via Castelnou was very nice.

Een paar mooie uitzichten. Soms stroken van 6 à 7 procent. Soms redelijk plat, kans om te recuperen. Laatste 1,5 km is het zwaarst. Geklommen bij 35 graden, dat was nog het zwaarst. Afdaling via Castelnou was zeer mooi.
