This tour will be a fantastic chance to immerse ourselves into 4 stages of the Tour de France. A great combination of riding the exact roads that the pros race on, then watching the Tour ride past. With stages 19 and 20 both finishing on the legendary Alpe d’Huez, the climax to the 2026 Tour de France is sure to be a classic!
