First featured in the 2020 Tour de France the Col de la Loze is definitely the new kid on the block with a fearsome reputation. From the valley you're faced with a long ascent, well over 25 kilometres in length, however it's when the road narrows and is closed to cars when things really start to get spicy.
7 kilometres at an average 10% may not sound like anything out of the ordinary but the Loze hasn't gained the reputation for being a relentless and unpredictable beast for nothing. Forever ducking and diving it's impossible to find a rhythm as the Loze takes control, and with gradients of 20% this is anything but the regular Alpine pass we've come to know and love.
Start: Méribel
Length: 7km
Summit: 2,304mm
Elevation Gain: 661m
Average Gradient: 10%
Max Gradient: 20%
I'm very proud to release this video, the turn around time to travel, self film and edit in just over a week has been intense. There were multiple all night editing sessions pulled to get it out before the Tour de France. If you enjoyed it please do me a solid and like, comment, share and subscribe to the channel :)
Thanks to Exposure Lights and Ultimate Components for throwing a few coppers into the pot. Overall funding is pretty low right now so if you'd like to make a donation then hit the heart under the video to become a superfan and help keep this content coming.
Thanks for joining me today, until the next time, ride safe!
Mike
