The first part of this stage is the same as the one run between 2018 and 2020 (La Cabanette – Col de Braus), including the famous starting downhill portion, southward-looking and filled with 16 hairpins. After a junction, the uphill portion heads to Col de l’Orme (1000m) and Col de l’Ablé (1149m), before another downhill portion leads crews to the access route for Col de Braus (D54/D2204 Junction), with four more spectacular hairpins on the way. The second part of the stage is brand new for monte carlo 2023, with the race sequence of Cols de Braus (1002m), Saint-Jean (642m) and Castillon (706m).
