Scary tunnel en Vercors (Cycling-Challenge.com)
The Vercors is full of Gorges, Views, tunnels and klifs. An exiting landscape to ride our closing stage. From Pont-en-Royans we first climb the Mont-Noir, traversing the col de Romeyere, the Gorge de Ecouges and a very scary tunnel! So let's bring lights not only for this stage, but for many we are gonna need them. After a coffee in the valley we climb the Mont-Noir from the north-side and we'll enjoy the Gorges du Nan. I expect it'll be more sightseeing than suffering. 

The grand finale we'll ride the famous Combe de Laval (D76), up to the Col de la Machine. It is a spectacular road and we planned to climb it cause we don't want to lose Manus in the decent. 

Last part of scenery will be in decending through the Grand Goulets.
