@Simon Rosmolen - thanks for the great hospitality and support through the week! @Mountainhotel Saint Roch was great!

August 28, 2025,WTC Briançon Dag 5: Puy-Saint Vincent & route Ailefroide naar ‘Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle’.

Beautiful route. Passing the village of Les Vigneaux and the Croque Loisirs campsite (just past Puy-Saint Vincent). Vallouise is also a beautiful place.
I met Jaap in Vallouise, so we climbed to Chalet Refuge du Pré de Madame Carle together.
A steep climb: 8, 9, and 10% for the last 3 km.

The climb to the Col du Granon is demanding!
The road being closed to all motorized vehicles, the only people on the road and above went up on foot or by bike. This reduced the crowd (a little!).

The descent was a veritable procession of hundreds of cyclists behind the Jumbo-Visma car in which Vingegaard rode, impressive!
