The first few hectometres are pleasant until you come out of the long right-hand bend, where you come to an interminable ramp exposed to the prevailing winds'the percentage isn't huge but with the 3/4 headwind, it hurts. As hard as an altiport 🤣

Les premiers hectomètres sont sympathique jusqu'à la sortie du long virage droit où se dévoile une rampe interminable et exposée aux vents dominants, le pourcentage n'est pas énorme mais avec le vent de 3/4 face, ça fait mal. Aussi dur qu'un altiport 🤣

A pleasant climb, on a beautiful road where, unfortunately, the cars drive quite fast. The second part seems interminable, as it climbs in a straight line and it is often windy.

Sympathique ascension, sur une belle route où malheureusement les voitures roulent assez vite. La deuxième partie paraît interminable, car elle monte en ligne droite et il y a fréquemment du vent

Indeed, there seems to be no end to the straight section at the end. The fact that this climb came at the end of an already long ride does not help with my moderate impression of it.

Er lijkt inderdaad geen einde te komen aan het rechte stuk op het einde. Het feit dat deze klim aan het einde kwam van een reeds lange rit, helpt niet met mijn matige impressie ervan.

The climb feels longer than it really is. Partly due to the big track and the long straight at the end.

De klim voelt langer aan dan die werkelijk is. Mede door de grote baan en het lange rechte stuk op het einde.
