.@WoutvanAert knalde gezwind de slotklim van etappe 1 op. Een klim te vergelijken met de Muur van Hoei. Alleen wat langer en gemiddeld bekeken iets steiler. #TDF2023 @VTMNIEUWS @HLN_BE
VIDEO: Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert recon Tour de France stage 1 climb, van Aert snatches Strava KOM
CyclingFriday, 30 June 2023 at 15:41
The Côte de Pike is 2.1 kilometers at 9.4%, but it's ramps go up to 20%. This will be the final climb of the explosive first day of the 2023 Tour de France and many riders have already gotten to know the climb, including Wout van Aert and Jonas Vingegaard.
The first day of the race could see a fight for the overall classification, but will with certainty see puncheurs and climbers fight for the stage win. Hence, some riders whilst doing their course recon have already climbed it at a serious pace, and this Friday many fans were in the area to watch it. Among them were Jumbo-Visma, with both Jonas Vingegaard and Wout van Aert cranking up serious watts up it today - with the latter taking the Strava KOM of the climb, which is a frequent appearance in some Basque classics.

- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024

- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off.

- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
