Tour de France 2023, Stage 15 (Les Gets - Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc), course, route,profile,animation
“Sunday, 16 July
On the 15th stage of the Tour de France, the riders ride from Les Gets to the ski resort of Saint-Gervais Mont-Blanc. The distance is just under 180 kilometres and the final climb leads 9.8 kilometres with an average of 8% to the finish.
2016 was the last time the Tour was in the ski resort in the shadow of Mont Blanc. The final climb starts in Saint-Gervais and ends after 9.8 kilometres. The average gradient is 7.8%. That is spicy in itself, but the start and finish spice up the climb. The first kilometre is the hardest at 12.9% and then it’s double-digit uphill for over a kilometre and a half. This section is called the Côte de Amerands. After that, the gradient flattens out for a few kilometres before the road climbs for another 7 kilometres at an average of 7.7%. The last 4 kilometres are a little steeper than this average indicates.
There is climbing right at the start of the stage, even if it is only a small section. From the descent, the riders go up a flat section and after 30 kilometres it’s over. For the rest of the day it is constantly up and down. The Col de la Forclaz de Montmin (7.2 kilometres at 7.3%) gives a taste of what is in store for the second half of the race.
Via the uncategorised Col du Marais, the riders set course for the Col de la Croix Fry (11.3 kilometres at 7%) and its offshoot, the Col des Aravis (4.4 kilometres at 5.8%). After the descent, the road climbs slightly to Megève and then Domancy awaits the riders. There they are greeted by the brutal Côte des Amerands and shortly afterwards the climb to the finish line begins.
This is the fourth time that a Tour stage has ended on the flanks of Mont Blanc. In 1990, Frenchman Thierry Claveyrolat won Mont-Blanc after a 70-kilometre solo in Saint-Gervais. Two years later, the Swiss Rolf Jaermann triumphed, while Romain Bardet was the strongest in 2016. The Frenchman attacked from the leading group 3 kilometres before the summit and took the victory solo.“
