TOUR DE FRANCE ÉTAPE: SEE YOU IN NICE ON JULY 4

They’re going to follow Alaphilippe’s wheel! After the cancellation of the 2020 edition, the sportive riders of the Étape du Tour de France will meet on the course of the 2nd stage of the last Tour de France, with a 186-kilometer route (175 kilometers announced on the organization’s website and the profile below) passing notably through the Col de la Colmiane, the Col de Turini, and the Col d’Èze. The decision to maintain the route of the 30th edition on its original itinerary responds to the desire expressed jointly with the city of Nice to support the villages of the Vésubie valley, severely affected by storm Alex a few weeks ago and whose roads need to be rebuilt. Furthermore, those registered for the 2020 edition will have priority for the 2021 event but can obtain a refund if they do not wish to re-register. Official registration will open at the beginning of the year.
