Mont Ventoux cycling jersey

Here is the beautiful jersey tribute to the famous Mont Ventoux, one of the monuments of cycling and the Tour de France. The ascent of Le Mont Ventoux is a legendary part of the Tour de France, and it has been included in the race 16 times since 1951.

The climb to the summit is 21.5 kilometers long, with an average gradient of 7.5 percent, and reaches an elevation of 1,909 meters above sea level.

Several notable moments in cycling history have taken place on Le Mont Ventoux. In the 1967 Tour de France, British rider Tom Simpson collapsed and died on the climb due to a combination of exhaustion, dehydration, and amphetamines.

In the 2000 Tour de France, Marco Pantani set a record time for the ascent of Le Mont Ventoux, completing the climb in just under 59 minutes. Pantani’s time stood as the fastest ascent of the mountain until 2004.

With this short sleeved cycling jersey, the bike lovers will have wings in the last laces of the passes by thinking of the giant of Provence!
