Beautiful little cornice road, with a beautiful view of the Bourg d'Oisans plain. A nice alternative to the climb of the Alpes d'Huez. Go up to Villard Reculaz, the road joins the rise of the Alps at Huez.

At the beginning I rolled a little and then went straight into the 21 most famous hairpin bends in the world. I took my time at the start and at the end it was 79 minutes. Just after half the route I had 36 minutes on the clock - Pantani's best time from 1995.
