Tour de France

The pass is regularly used on the Tour de France, most recently on stage 9 of the 2011 tour. The pass was first used in the 1959 Tour de France, on the 231 km stage 14 from Aurillac to Clermont Ferrand, with Louis Bergaud first across the summit. In the 2004 tour, the pass was used on stage 10 from Limoges to Saint-Flour, approaching from the Salers direction which includes a final three kilometres at an average of 12% and a maximum gradient of 15%, with Richard Virenque first over the summit.

The Tour de France has crossed the summit 9 times since 1947, including on stage 9 of the 2011 tour. The 10th stage was selected for the 2004 L'Étape du Tour, in which amateur and club riders ride over a full stage of the tour.
