According to French medias, the Mont Ventoux should be back on the Tour de France in 2016. Even if French radio France Bleu had already announced this rumor, Belgian daily Het Nieuwsblad specifies that "the Giant of Provence" could be the scene of the arrival of the 14th stage of Draguignan (180 kilometers).

The Mont Ventoux is one of the most famous climb in France and one of the most grueling. The peloton has ascended the mountain fifteen times since 1951. The last time that the peloton climbed this climb was in 2013. British Chris Froome won at the top of it.
