Three passes are on the menu, the Col St Martin - la Colmiane (1503 m), placed after a long warm-up of 50 km in the valley, the mythical Col de Turini (1,607 m) and the Col d'Eze (507m), positioned at the very end of the route.
The return to Nice via the descent of the Moyenne Corniche will put an end to this day, "a real personal exploit", which will have taken you on the road to the great champions.
