Strong start: despite the pre-race twinge, I powered away from Aigle into the first gravel switchbacks. Tire hindsight: I ran Thunder Burt 2.1″ tires, which proved overkill on these firm gravel and mixed surfaces. Race → Tour: about 1 – 1.5 hours in, I dialed back the effort—scenery over watts. Mid-ride grind: through Bex woods up to Solalex & Frience—steep pitches rewarded with panoramic views. Taveyanne to Bretaye: technical singletrack gems, then a gravel haul to the 1 778 m summit. Final push: forest descent, then the last gravel drag to Col de la Croix—painful but oh-so-rewarding. 🎞️ Highlights edit coming soon—stay tuned for the cinematic cut! 📺 Unlocked by Tim I ride to explore, to push, to connect.
