If you're off to the Étape in 2009 then you'd do well to go prepared, because the Ventoux is a hard climb – the hardest in France, if Lance is to be believed. Road.cc take a look at Cyclefilm’s latest release, The Road to Mt Ventoux. Here’s what they had to say…

“Well put together and a well rounded impression of what you'll be facing next July if you take up the challenge. Useful commentary on road conditions, good descriptions of all climbs, plenty of advice on bike spec, clothing and nutrition. Not a lot to dislike really.”

Verdict: Money well spent if you’re riding the Étape in 2009
