Third climb from Sporta Ventoux's Cannibale. Starts easily and then goes to a fairly even 7％. Once you have the right cadence pretty easy to ride up and enjoy the views. The road winds uphill with quite a lot of bends so the climb never gets boring.

Derde klim uit de Cannibale van Sporta Ventoux. Begint gemakkelijk en gaat dan naar een vrij gelijkmatige 7％. Eens je de juist kadans hebt vrij eenvoudig naar boven te rijden en genieten van het uitzicht. De weg slingert zich met vrij veel bochten omhoog waardoor de klim nooit saai wordt.

Between l' Homme mort and Perty lies the St-Jean. The third col in line during Sporta's Cannibale. A gentle run-up in the first half and slightly spicier finish in beauty. Open and expansive, beautiful scenery.

Tussen l' Homme mort en Perty ligt de St-Jean. De derde col in de rij tijdens de Cannibale van Sporta. Een rustige aanloop in de eerste helft en iets pittiger eindigen in schoonheid. Open en weids, prachtig decor.
