Wild Roads and Soaring Heights: Watch the Haute Route Pyrenees (Stage One)

From the wild, winding road to Merolla to the soaring heights of Creuetta, the Pyrenees turned it on for Stage One of the Haute Route Pyrenees. Riders set out from Ripoll in Spain, covering 104km and 2400m+ to reach the finish line in Bolquere, France. Local rider Titouan Huige took the stage win, ahead of Spanish rider Marco Rodero Prada and Frenchman Carlet Pierre. Tomorrow, riders continue on this five-day race across the wild Pyrenees.
