Il était sur le podium de la 1ere #mercantourclassic il y a 2 ans (avec des conditions climatiques similaires 😁), quelle joie de voir @BrunoArmirail endosser ce beau maillot! 🤩 Bravo au coureur de la @GroupamaFDJ #lesRP #Giro2023
Preview. Following the Giro d'Italia, cycling fans will get their dose of mountain racing on the 30th of May with the Mercan'Tour Classic which takes place high in the Alpes Maritimes.
The race is short with only 167.5 kilometers on the menu however it will be quite a hard one. The first half of the Alpie race will be mostly flat, the second half anything but that. The riders tackle the Col de la Colmiane via a non-traditional side (7.6Km; 6.9%), the Col de la Couillole (15.9Km; 7.3) and finally a summit finish atop Valberg which features 7.2 kilometers at 7.3%. 4700 meters of climbing in a day where the purists will have an unusual opportunity to win a one-day race.

- Other than Pog, the other leaders are beatable and They contributed 56 wins. But when team strategy is to pit best leaders against Pog and so-so leaders against Hirschi, Yates, Mcnulty, that team is going to lose everything.abstractengineer20-11-2024
- The ones I know were great races, sure, but all of cycling history, and they're almost all from 2010 to now? Yeah no. I mean, great choices, some amazing stages, watched many of them live, have re-watched many of them when I could, but really this is 8 great races from the past 15 years, plus two others.RidesHills19-11-2024
