Riders will cover a 168.5 km loop, climb over 3000 m of elevation gain, and notably tackle the Mur du Val d’Enfer three times before battling for victory. The public will have the pleasure of watching an XXL international field. Among those at the start will be two-time world champion Julian Alaphilippe, three-time Vuelta a España winner Primoz Roglic, and some French headliners like Thibault Pinot and Guillaume Martin.
