Glandon, Télégraphe, Galibier and L'Alpe d'Huez - what sounds like the royal stage of the Tour de France is the terrain that several thousand amateur cyclists will be tackling on 2 July 2017. The climb to the Galibier alone has 2,000 metres of elevation gain, with a total of almost 5,200 metres of elevation gain for the amateur riders.
Anyone not watching the second stage of the Tour de France from Düsseldorf to Liège live from the roadside on the first Sunday in July can conquer the most famous climbs in the Alps almost 1,000 kilometres to the south. In addition to the traditional route, there will also be a half-distance race covering 76 kilometres and 2,000 metres in altitude. Glandon and Télégraphe are not included here. However, the finish is also at the so-called "Mi-Marmotte" in L'Alpe d'Huez.
The Registration for the race requires an account with the Cycling Classics France race series. All further information such as accommodation, route and supporting programme can be found on the Organiser page.
