Start of the climb towards the Planche des Belles Filles: approximately 7 km to the summit, i.e. the Super Planche, at ~8.5% average. And it starts strong from the start...

René Pottier (Moret-sur-Loing, June 5, 1879 - Levallois-Perret, January 25, 1907) is considered the first climber in the history of the Tour de France. He turned professional in 1904; at that time he already had a victory in Paris-Roubaix and an attack on the world hour record to his name. Pottier first participated in the Tour de France in 1905 (see Tour de France 1905). That year, in the third Tour, serious climbs were included in the course for the first time. Pottier attacked in the second stage on the highest mountain of that year, the Ballon d'Alsace (1247 m). He finished second in the stage and leader in the general classification. However, due to a collision with a fan in which he sprained his ankle, he had to abandon the next stage.

This is where the climb to the Planche des belles filles begins - to the left we continue towards Ballon de Servance and to the right we go straight up the mountain to the beautiful dead end at the summit.

Pleasant slope, super nice. We did the tour at the beginning of October. At this time of year it is quiet in the Vosges.

René Pottier was the first to cross the Ballon d'Alsace in the Tour de France in 1905 (supposedly at an average speed of 20 km/h) and thus became cycling's first unofficial mountain king. In his honor, a stone with an inscription and his photo was placed at the top of the Ballon d'Alsace pass. However, in 1905 he did not win the stage over the mountain or the Tour de France itself - he had to retire due to an injury. In 1906 René came back, was first at the top of the pass again and was then also at the front in Paris. In his Tour victory he also won five stages, four of them in a row. Perhaps he could have repeated his success more times. In January 1907, just six months after his Tour triumph, Pottier took his own life by hanging himself in the garage of the bicycle factory whose bikes he rode. Employees found him hanging on the hook where his bike used to hang. Lovesickness was assumed to be the reason. He was 27 years old.

From the Ballon d'Alsace, a well-developed road leads down to Saint-Maurice-sur-Moselle. Nice to drive and usually in good company with other two-wheelers - unfortunately also motorized and as an important pass also with some traffic.

As much gravel and slope as there is pleasure on it!
