Discover the detailed route of the time trial between Passy and Combloux
After two grueling stages in the Alps, the cyclists of the Tour de France will return to service in the Pays du Mont-Blanc for the one and only time trial of the 2023 edition: the famous individual CLM from Passy to Combloux.
Make no mistake: the 22 kilometers that the peloton will have to cover will not be easy. The choice of course, which already looks particularly complex, was not left to chance… Explanations.
This 3rd Tuesday of the Tour de France, the peloton:
- will set off from Passy
- to head towards the rise of the Sudans
- before making a rapid descent towards the town of Sallanches.
As a warm-up, cyclists will have to face slopes exceeding 10%.
- It is expected that the route will then take the management of Domancy
- where competitors will then tackle theclimbing the famous hill eponymous, the scene of one of the greatest exploits of French cycling.
La legendary rise is characterized by average slope at 9,4% on a 2.5 km length.
Renamed “climb Bernard Hinault” bearing the image of our undisputed national cycling legend, it is on this stretch of road that the man nicknamed “the Badger” won his world title in 1980.
Our Champion, listed among the greatest winners of the Tour de France, also holds the record for victories in time trial type stages.
- Once at the end of this infernal climb, our riders will only have a few short kilometers left to finish this 16th stage in the center of the village of Combloux.
43 years after Bernard Hinault's world title in Sallanches, the show promises to be at its peak this Tuesday, July 18 on the Domancy coast.
Cycling: in fact, what is a time trial?
The individual time trial is a unique Tour de France event. This type of competition is in fact different from classic line starts, since the parking for cyclists engaged leave one after another, separated by defined time intervals.
Le ultimate goal for the contenders in the general classification is then beat the clock, either try to complete the stage distance in record time and, of course, without “burning out”. Endurance is therefore essential!
Since its integration into the Tour de France in 1934, the individual time trial has left an indelible mark on many editions of the Grande Boucle. This event notably highlighted certain prodigies of the little queen – such as Merckx, Hinault, Induráin, or even Anquetil… These two-wheeled virtuosos have engraved the legend of the famous cycle race for more than a century.
In the end, the Passy-Combloux individual time trial will distinguish the adventurers from the contenders for the general classification of this Tour de France 2023.
Attending this extremely difficult endurance event ultimately represents a golden opportunity to see your favorite runners pass by one by one!
This is one more reason to come and salute the sporting achievement of the competitors when they arrive in our beautiful alpine village!
