Climbed Ventoux But It Didn't Count?

I chose the La Reine route because I saw the elevation and wanted to climb but as I was climbing I realized it was Ventoux that the La Reine route was on. So I decided to climb to the top of Ventoux after finishing the La Reine route, however I didn’t get a notification at the top of Ventoux when I went through the finish saying I had climbed Ventoux and I didn’t get a Ventoux KOM time. Is this because I was in the La Reine route? Just wondering if I need to do something different next time I climb Ventoux to get a KOM time or if this was just a glitch.

La Reine doesn’t cross the start of the Ventoux segment, so you won’t get a Ventoux segment time.

Ven-Top is the only route that covers the Ventoux segment.

That makes sense. Thanks!

Yes. But it would be nice to have a timer or at least a strava segment for it.
@Eric_Schlange_ZwftIn Could you add a segment from the petite to the top?
I’ve seen a lot of riders get disappointed as they think they are climbing Ventoux.

Good idea. Just added added Chalet Reynard Banner to Ventoux Banner and Petit KOM Banner to Ventoux Banner.
