EVENT DESCRIPTION
If the sound of the new French map has you drooling, you’re not alone. These new routes are as delicious and satisfying as a hot baguette topped with a slab of salted butter after a long ride.

Select courses —two per week— will be available after the second weekend.

Join us weekdays this July for Virtual Tour de France—Discovery Rides to explore the routes raced during the previous weekend.

As you probably know, the Virtual Tour de France goes down during the first three weekends of July. Some of your favorite teams and racers will complete two stages each weekend.

Outside of the Virtual L'Etape du Tour, the only way to gain access to these courses is via Discovery Rides. These events will take place on routes raced the previous weekend.

Are these races?
