Ronan Pensec invites you to experience this 99th edition of the Tour de France and to enjoy the benefits of his 13 years as a pro-rider and 25 years of experience with the Tour de France.
Your tour will be a spectacular and richly rewarding experience as you will not only challenge yourself, but you will also be in the heat of the Tour action. During this tour you will see all the crucial Pyrenean stages, where you will experience the crowds’ enthusiasm, waving the flags and cheering you on while you climb some of the most prestigious climbs in France. This year, the Pyrenean stages will include mountain climbs on the mythical Col de Tourmalet and Col de Peyresourde.
There, you will see the pros battle on these climbs, but you will also climb the same famous peaks before the pros arrive. This last week is always a challenge for the Tour riders, and it is where we give you the chance to face the same challenges.
After the mountain stages, you will see the decisive and last Time Trial with the opportunity to cheer on your favourites as they leave the start house. Soon after, you will head to Paris, where you will attend the Finish on the cobblestones of the Champs Elysees.
