Thanks for this dude, mild panic when i got the email 😅

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

Thanks for watching

*****UPDATE***** the descent of the Croix de la Fer is neutralised marmottegranfondoalpes.com/en/marmotte-granfondo-alpes/

[@Sasha110387]

But only to start of Mollard... so the 50 switchbacks are timed.

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

@@Sasha110387 good point

[@Tuslareb]

The Alpine Cols channel says that the switchbacks are also neutralised, so there will be two neutralised zones. He got that info from inside the organisation. Hope to get confirmation on this as soon as possible. I would also like to know the exact location of the second timing mat.

@@Tuslareb OK I didn't watch their video as I had already edited this from what was available in the public domain. They have the inside knowledge so they can probably answer both of those questions for you. Good luck , Mike

Can you describe what tipe of food we will see at the top of the climb? Because I saw some video showing also bars at the feed station 😬, and I need to organize my food inventory, trying not to hold to many bars. Thank you

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

It changes every year. I think it’s Powerbar this year but ask when you collect your number. Good luck

[@tomjanssen7884]

Already any clarity about the time limits for riding gold for example?
Thanks for the video!

[@CyclingInTheAlps]

Thanks Tom. I;m not aware that they still catergorise gold, silver etc.

[@tomjanssen7884]

@@CyclingInTheAlps Would be a shame. Anyway, safety first.

[@Emonk2010]

Yay - 10% harder 😭

[@CyclingInTheAlps]
