The course has been modified several times in various editions of this event, but this year feels like they've got a home at La Filature de Ronchamps. Walking through the covered aisles to the registration, large photos are hung from the roof covering the winners atop La Planche des Belles Filles, giving a sense of gravitas to the challenge which lay ahead.
A final heavy rain shower dropped just before 7am, its already warm, and the rest of the day is to be perfect weather, but it means wet feet for the rest of the day.
