La Course 2017 Route stage 1: Briancon - Col d’Izoard

Thursday, 20 July 2017 - La Course is held for the 4th time. The previous editions were played out on the Champs-Élysées, but this time we'll see a different approach. La Course takes in two stages. The firsts one travels in 67.5 kilometres from Briancon to the Col d'Izoard. Summit finish after a 14.1 kilometres climb at 7.3%.

La Course sets off in Briancon for a race in the high Alps. In 35 kilometres the riders head south through the valley of the river Durance. In Saint-Clément-sur-Durance they turn left and via a flat flat of 7 kilometres they enter Guillestre. Another false flat of 17.5 kilometres continues to the foor of the Col d’Izoard.

The first half of the Izoard Pass is averaging approximately 6%. And then, from kilometre 8 onwards, the col shows it’s teeth with average grades fluctuating around 10%. A short drop brings some relief with 2.5 kilometres to go before the last 2 kilometres are averaging 9% again.

The first three editions of La Course were played out on the Champs-Élysées in Paris. Marianne Vos, Anna van der Breggen and Chloe Hosking sprinted to victory, which is unthinkable on the Izoard. The 1st stage of La Course edition 2017 suits climbers, and climbers only.
