  • how many kilometres have you made??

  • The climb was 23km from Bedoin. The same route as they will ride on Saturday in the Tour

  • cumbriancyclist, name of music please

  • I'm afraid I don't know. It is one of YouTube's offerings. My original choice was blocked by the enlightened music industry moguls. Sad

  • I read somewhere its gradient is 8% and is like 20km long that's way too tough.

  • Average is about 8%, much steeper in places. And 23 km long. It's a toughie!!

  • actually "accents" are what you have when you speak funny or they are the funny characters over a letter (such as é) and "decent" is what you are when you are a good person! ;-)

    You want ups and downs? Ascents and descents.

  • Thats a nice mountain actually but do you know your descents and accents? Accents mean you are climbing and decent means your are flying down the mountain.

  • @Cumbriancyclist The Last 3km to the very top are 11-12% (Thats when you feel the worst) and its 21km from Bedoin, I have cycled it and I'm 15, It was great! @1:56 thats where I started to feel it.

  • Nice cheating ! I can do it in 1 min with your "accelerated video" technique!

    Don't know how fast you really did it, but shure was big hazard for other cars and cyclists on the road.

  • Danke

  • @Cumbriancyclist certainly if you havent eaten enough and over estimate yourself, so after 1.45 you cant do the descent cause your back hurts like hell..

  • vidéo accélérée ,c'est flagrant,suffit de regarder las cyclistes!

  • this is my dream, on the bike or in the car

  • just rode up it with my dad i'm 15

  • @portugalfan10 Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin
