Description

After crossing the Gave, the quiet departmental road runs through the Aspe Valley in a truly bucolic setting. There's no difficulty on the horizon except for a few mounds to overcome with the electric assistance and relaxation. However, Col de Marie-Blanque on its side of the Aspe Valley will surprise you and, after a bend, you will quickly understand why the Tour de France has passed through here thirteen times. Beautiful pages of this legendary event have been written here, beginning with Thévenet in 1978 who had to get down the bike and Hinault, a young beginner who broke his teeth there. The electric assistance gets quite helpful in getting the most out of this short but intense journey. This challenge is more technological than physical, you need to make your legs work by correctly managing the available watts to reach the 1035 m of this highly coveted pass without incident
