Mont Ventoux Hill Climb is a car and motorcycle hillclimbing race course near Avignon in France. The course, up Mont Ventoux, starts from the village of Bédoin and rises 5,289 feet (1,612 m) for 13.4 miles (21.6 km),[1] to the observatory at the summit, for an average gradient of 7.4%.
In 1970: "Andre Willem of Belgium was killed June 20 in practice for the Mont Ventoux Hill Climb near Carpentras. His Lotus Formula 3 car slid off the road and struck a tree."[2]
A shortened version of the course was used in 1976. A revival meeting called "Ronde du Ventoux" was held in 2009.
