The Mur is often decisive to the final outcome of the race."
Having occupied my spare time this winter by purchasing and watching WCP's DVDs of all the classics as far back as they still have available, I can say that the Mur de Grammont, or Muur van Gerrardsbergen, is the pentultimate climb of the Ronde van Vlaanderen(Tour of Flanders), the last climb being the Bosberg.
"Well Grammont is the Flemish name for Gerrardsbergen.."
Well I think you have it wrong way round, as "bergen" is a suffix typical of northen Europen languages like Flemish, Dutch and German, while "mont" is a common suffix in French.
