Intense tour today.
For comparison:
Crossing Mount Ventoux 2023 at the end of the tour 1,600m of elevation gain (7% gradient) in one go in 3.5 hours.
Today, relatively early in the tour, crossing Col de Vergio 1,500m of elevation gain (5-6% gradient) in one go in 5 hours.

The km signs for cyclists on both sides of the pass seem brand new. Because only one was shot.
