Description
One of four prints illustrating four HC category climbs from Le Tour de France 2017.
The diagonal illustrates the 10.3% gradient of the climb from it’s starting point above sea level to the summit. Blue sky and flowers – Mont du Chat, sounds idyllic but is the steepest climb of the 2017 Tour.
Hors Catégorie (HC) is a term used in stage bicycle races to designate a climb that is “beyond categorisation”. The term was originally used for those mountain roads where cars were not expected to be able to pass.
