This set of photos is dedicated to an American rider who often trained on this climb that rises up behind Nice. It’s a curving road that climbs with a regular gradient with a load of hairpin switchbacks. From the top you’re rewarded with an amazing view, though I guess in his day, his mind was focused on the last curve where he’d take his time check. On the way back down he’d have time to enjoy the view of the Alpes-Maritimes, especially in spring it must have been quite a sight indeed. Text & photo Antonello Tabarelli de Fatis.
