Charly Gaul cycle route (PC 11)

The PC14 cycle path is dedicated to Charly Gaul, a versatile Luxembourgish cyclist who, among other achievements, won the Tour de France in 1958 and was Luxembourg cyclo-cross champion. His abilities as a pure climber, when the road ascends, earned him the nicknames "winged climber" or "angel of the mountains." He is known as one of the greatest climbers of the century. He also won the Giro d'Italia in 1956 and 1959. He was particularly popular in bad weather, where he could create huge gaps and disrupt the rankings.
