At 2,115 metres above sea level, this beast of the Pyrenees has tested the legs of champions since it first appeared in the Tour de France back in 1910 — making it the original ‘beyond the Alps’ brutality that turned the race on its head over a century ago. The D918 winds upward through 17.6 kilometres of switchbacks, gradients touching 10% and beyond, and weather that can switch from glorious sunshine to howling wind in the space of a single hairpin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis square route sign faithfully replicates that iconic yellow-and-black D918 marker you’ve no doubt seen in photos from summit finishes and rider vlogs.
