The event in a few words

Ready to play with the big leagues? 🚴 If the idea of sweating like a pro excites you, head to the Stage of the Tour de France in July ⛰️. This year will delight you, with a course as demanding as it is splendid 😍. We're talking about 170 km and 5400 meters of positive elevation in the mythical Alpine climbs. Prepare mentally to increase your heart rate just by reading the menu 🍽️ :

Participating in this race is stepping into the shoes of Pogačar for a day. A few days before the peloton leaders tackle the same cols, you'll have this unique experience: riding like a pro on roads 100% closed to traffic ❌. Imagine yourself in the midst of an electrifying atmosphere 🎉, with breathtaking alpine landscapes 🤩, cheered by the crowd like a cycling champion 🥇.

Good news 🥳: whether you're a weekend cyclist or a seasoned climber 😎, everyone is welcome (yes, even you who think "5400 m of D+" is a typo 🤓). The only condition? Being of age and holding tight to your handlebars 🖐️. To keep the competition enjoyable, your bib number will be assigned based on your level, so the fastest won't cast a shadow on you 🌪️... nor you on them (we're nice like that 😌).

Let's be honest: after 170 km of intense effort, you'll have genuinely earned some rest and adventure 🌄. So, ready to tackle the legendary cols? 😈 A little Cormet de Roselend, it's a piece of cake 🍦, promised.
