Cycling the Beaufortain and Aravis: The French Alps Stage Nobody Markets
The stage-8 route of the Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes traces one of the best multi-climb cycling loops in the French Alps — from the Beaufort valley over the Col du Pré, the Bisanne, the Aravis, and up to the Plateau de Solaison. Most cyclists drive past this area heading somewhere more famous. That is their loss.
Tour Auvergne Stage 8: Four Climbs, 42 Seconds, One Plateau
The Tour Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes closes on the Plateau de Solaison today — 120 kilometres, four Alpine climbs, and a 42-second gap between Luke Tuckwell's yellow jersey and Matteo Jorgenson. Isaac del Toro is 49 seconds back after winning Stage 7 on the Grand Colombier. The race ends here.
