Preview stage 2. From the 20th to the 27th of August takes place the
Tour de l'Avenir. More commonly known as the under-23 Tour de France, the race will see 9 stages throughout France where the best U23 riders of all specialties will come together to reveal many of the stars of the future.
The longest day of the race, stage 2 is an unusually long day when it comes to under-23 racing - albeit some of the riders present race as Elites throughout the entire year. From Nozay to Chinon the riders take on 195 kilometers, however to their luck they are mostly flat, and should end in a bunch sprint.
