Once out of the town, it's a direct attack via vineyard roads and relatively high gradients and it doesn't really climb! It's never insurmountable, but some of the ramps do sting.

Une fois sorti de la ville, sa attaque direct par des route de vignes et des pourcentage relativement important et sa s'arête pas vraiment! C'est jamais insurmontable, mais certaines rampes piquent bien.
