On the 6th of October the riders will tackle one of the very oldest and most famous one-day races in the cycling calendar. A race that over the years has crowned many of the sport's greats, Paris-Tours continues to be an exciting race up to this day and it's many gravel sectors and explosive climbs will make for a brilliant race for the season finale. We preview the race ahead.
The route will be 215 kilometers long and as has been the case over the past few years, it's a race where a sprint is far from assured. There will be 10 gravel sectors and a few more climbs. We have got flat gravel sectors, uphill gravel sectors and uphill paved sectors... A dense combination of difficulties designed for aggressive racing, before a flat finale into Tours where a lot can still happen.
