A quiet, hard climb in the Bugey mountains of the southern Jura, above the Rhône. Used by the Tour just once, as the first act of a savage three-climb day.

Stage 9 · Nantua → Chambéry
Won by Rigoberto Urán (COL)
Primož Roglič led over the Col de la Biche to open the brutal Jura 'trilogy' with the Grand Colombier and Mont du Chat. On a chaotic day — Chris Froome with a mechanical, Richie Porte crashing hard on the Chat descent — Urán edged Warren Barguil in a photo finish.
