The Col du Tourmalet is one of the most famous and iconic Climbs there is and Stage 3 was all about it! After stage 1&2 we came up with a plan to make up time and get good results in the GC. This turned out to be a bit different than we expected.....

This is my experience of the Haute Route Pyrenees 2022. Haute Route is the hardest and most complete multi day event you can ride as an amateur cyclist. The stages are very similar to the Grand Tours of World tour Professianal cycists. In this event we raced 5 stages in 5 days, 627km and 15.700m of elevation, starting in Biarritz and ending in Saint Lary.
