Both locations are made with an eye for adding some choice as to how you ride a particular area. The Ventoux Ronde takes us all around the base of the Mont Ventoux but there might be a short 'extra' route that would let you avoid the only real climb of the Col de Flassan.

The SellaRonda Can be done a variety of ways & you could also I guess dig up one of the early Bertha films called the Col de Fedaia which is worth doing if you have not seen it as the route follows the old bike path through a deep narrow gorge before it was washed away in a storm just 4 days later.

I'll definitely have to go to Col de Fedaia.

The Fedaia also connects onto a 2nd film made at the same time that takes you up the Pordoi from the west (this is also deep down inside the released collection), you could perhaps eventually be able to make a choice halfway up to turn left now onto the Sella Ronda doing the Passo Sella the traditional way from the south. There is a missing section of probably just 1 or two km between where the Fedaia starts & where the new Passo Giau starts (this is also now filmed both sides)

Its kind of the same deal with the Provence rides, we have a lot filmed on & near the Ventoux, this new route will intersect with many of these stages as we ride all around it (something like 110km)

This is all very interesting. I'll have to go for a ride.
