The modest organisation behind the Mercan'Tour Classic offers pure climbers a rare opportunity every year to shine in a one-day race.
Three major climbs define the event: La Colmiane (Cat. 1), the Col de la Couillole (HC, 16 km at 7.5%) — both regular fixtures on the Tour or Paris-Nice in recent years — and the uphill finish at Valberg (Cat. 1), gentler than the others but still 13 km of climbing up to the ski resort that crowns the winner.
