CyclingSaturday, 25 February 2023 at 12:35
Preview. The weekend of the Faun classics bring in challenges for the climbers and puncheurs to test their early-season form outside of the stage-races. The Faun-Ardèche Classic is one of the toughest one-day races of the season and it will take place in the 25th of February.
The 172-kilometer long route is highly mountainous with over 3000 meters of climbing. The climbing starts from kilometers 0 and is present almost all the way into the finish in Guilherand-Granges. The first loop - of which there will be two laps - includes a 9.9Km climb at 4.3%, a 1.7Km long climb at 3.9% and a 5.6Km climb at 4.2%.
The third look features a 1.9Km at 8.2% and a 6.3Km climb at 7.1%. All three laps also include the Côte de Val d'Enfer which comes only 6 kilometers before the finishing climb. It features 1.5 kilometers at an average of 10.3%, a very steep ascent where there is nowhere to hide and attacks are to be expected.
