Day 2 of Le Pilgrimage took the riders down to the best bakery in Briançon and from there up to maybe the best checkpoint of the event: Fort janus at 2566 metres.
Besides the amazing views into the 4 surrounding valleys the fort is an impressive feat of engineering built between 1883 and 1931. These day the abandoned rooms remember of conflicts of the past and welcomes the riders to get their second stamp in their brevet card.
After two days in France with sun, the next two days the riders will head into the Piemonte region and might face some challenging weather conditions.
