The french national championships of 2023 will take place in Hazebrouck/Cassel. :eek: We might get 230-250k on that great course of Cassel.

This is absolutely brutal. This is the only race that matters on that day.

Just imagine: Pinot wins, then goes to the Tour and wins on Grand Colombier.
Or just goes to the Tour, riding around in the Tricolore...

Does anyone have a profile of the circuit? It's really hard to tell from the overall profile how tough the race will be. But if some of those bumps are actually steep it might not be too easy.
with how short the climb is it's more about how technical it is, because being able to carry momentum into those short 200-250m hills make a huge difference.
