Col de Menté at Tour de France

Unfortunately, Col de Menté, a mountain pass in the central Pyrenees  is well-known because of the tragic stories happened there during the Tour de France. In 1971, a nasty crash on the descent of Col de Menté ended Luis Ocaña's dreams of winning the Tour de France that year. (Nevertheless, Ocaña managed to win Tour de France two years later.)

In 1995 Col de Menté was part of the infamous 15th stage, when Fabio Casartelli crashed on the descent of Col de Portet d'Aspet.
