After a two-year hiatus, the Corima Drôme Provençale returns on Saturday, March 26 and Sunday, March 27, 2022, with the same values and spirit that made previous editions a success: hospitality, sportsmanship, conviviality, smiles, and enjoyment.

Organized by the Saint James Vélo Club of Montélimar, and with the support of major partner Corima, the event is the first major sportive of the federal calendar. For 10 years, it has seen approximately 2000 cyclists, competitors, and touring riders each year on the demanding roads of this beautiful region.
Included in the Trophée Label d’Or events, it allows the best riders to earn their first points of the season.
For this new edition, in addition to the four traditional Sunday routes, two new features are offered on Saturday, March 26:
- A cycling tour on a marked route along the most beautiful villages of the Andrans plain around Montélimar.
- A Gravel ride with two routes using unusual paths around Montélimar. The two proposed routes are accessible to Gravel bikes (road bikes with wide tires suitable for paths) as well as Mountain Bikes and Electric Mountain Bikes. They mostly run on roads, tracks, and paths for the 52 km Gravel route, and one-third on stony forest tracks for the 74 km Gravel route. This loop is reserved for experienced riders. The routes take place in a forest environment and may be subject to cancellation if state services deem access dangerous, particularly due to fire risks.
As for Sunday, March 27, it will be the turn of the traditional sportive.
It includes three routes to choose from:
- “La Corima” 146 km
- “La Jollywear” 105 km
- “La Sesame” 77 km
In parallel with these three timed events, a touring formula is organized on these three routes.
A fourth route, “La Montilienne,” approximately 46 km long, is offered only as a touring formula.
The choice of route is mandatory at the time of registration, but it can be freely changed during the event.
