Course description
A Mediterranean classic with a swim in the Bay of Nice and a demanding bike course into the backcountry. The route climbs the Col de Vence (around 9.6 km at roughly 6.5%) before a technical descent leads back to the coast. The flat run follows the famous Promenade des Anglais.
Coach tip
Pace yourself well on the Col de Vence — ride the long climb steadily and don't over-pace it. The technical descent that follows requires full concentration and ready braking. The flat coastal run on the promenade is low on shade and hot: drink and cool yourself regularly.
