The Tour de l’Avenir is reserved for people under 23 years old. Greg Lemond, Miguel Indurain, Laurent Fignon and in 2018 Tadej Pogacarput it on their list.

It’s a celebration of cycling in the broadest sense. Philippe Coliou

“The Tour de l’Avenir has had the function since its origin of revealing young talents– explains race director Philippe Coliou – so we hope that very good young riders will emerge from the race who will evolve at the top world level in the coming years. Sportingly, these are very dynamic races, with no downtime, which is what makes these races for those under 23 so interesting.“.

Among the headliners are the French Romain Grégoire and Lenny Martinez, the Kazakh Nicolas Vinokourov, son of Alexandre, and the Belgians Lennert Van Eetvelt, Cian Uijtdebroeks and William Lecerf. All continents will be represented this year thanks to the return of Eritrea.
