From the 2nd day on the road, the Col du Galibier served as a major test for the Sun Trip Alpes 2023 adventurers, all the more so as this pass had never been on the official program of our adventures.
After spending the night in Valloire, the group set off on the 17km climb, reaching the summit mid-morning at 2646m. A first for many.
By the evening of Friday June 16, almost all participants had passed the Col de Vars, further south. Technical difficulties at the rear of the group: Lionel Goddard and Chloé George. There was also a technical problem for Jean-Louis Merelle, who was in the battle for the yellow jersey..
To be continued tomorrow, with the Col de la Bonette on the road to Nice.
