I noticed this image on a cycling tour web site and would like to know the climb name and where in the French Alps it is? can anyone help - thanks.

Hi
Cycling Weekly once ran a feature on a sportif crossing 3 countries, and taking in the Passo dello Stelvio.
Does anyone know the name of this, or has ridden it.

Thanks

The Giro 2010 will visit the Passo Gavia, Mortirolo, Monte Zoncolan, Monte Terminillo and the Kronplatz.

The Giro also visits Cesenatico. the place of birth of Marco Pantani!

Watch out. The Tour 2010 is about to be released. You will find everything on the climbs and route at climbbybike.com from October 14 on.

Rumour goes already that the infamous Tourmalet will be climbed twice in 2010. Just a 100 years after the first trip over the greatest Pryrenees climb.

The Tourmalet will be climbed in two different stages. In one of them, the finish will be on top of the Tourmalet.

Also other famous Pyrenees climbs like the Peyresourde, Aspin eand Aubisque are on the 2010 Tour menu, so the Pyrenees will definately bring a different story than last year. Luckily so.

I d'like to know how you can upload easily a climb on this site, I've seen many others doing this. btw I've problems to login, everytime it says 'error #8803' or something like that.

Well, it's something different, a Giro without any of the big three. But don't worry, there are enough other climbs in Italy, like e.g. the Blockhaus. And they're pretty hard as well.

For its 100 year celebration, the Giro is making a tour around the peninsula with short visits to Austria and France. All the big cities are visited; Venice, Bergamo, Milano (with a real show there), Firenze, Bologna, Torino, Naples and Rome. In between, the centoanni pays a visit to the Cinque Terre and the Amalfi Coast, two of Italies coastal beauties. All in all, the Giro 2009 is pretty hard and promises to be very interesting, not at least due to Lance Armstrong's and Ivan Basso's participation. We can imagine cycling fans already look forward to the
Giro d'Italia 2009.

The Tour 2009 promises to be more interesting than ever. After the announced return of Lance Armstrong, rumours say that a time trial will be held on the infamous Mont Venoux (side Bédoin, we assume) .

Indeed, exactly the climlb where the Boss never won, leaving the victory to Marco Pantani in 2000 ( watch video of Pantani - Armstrong duel on the Ventoux ). Il Pirato now climbs in heaven, Lance somewhere in the neighbourhood of Aspen we guess.

According to the local newspaper La Provence, the time trial on the Ventoux will be held on the one but last day of the Tour, making it all the more interesting.

The Tour 2009 will start off in Monaco, then going to Barcelona and the Pyrenees.
