Really great!!! the pass is divided into 2 parts: the first 10 km are used to warm up the legs for the next 10 km where it climbs (and that's what we want!)!

Vraiment super !!! le col se divise en 2 parties : les 10ères bornes servent à bien chauffer les jambes pour les 10km suivants où là pour le coup ça grimpe (et c'est ce qu'on veut!) !
