Mondovelo 2012 Etape du Tour Training Week in the Pyrenees

Training Camps

Pyrenees cycling Itenery for the Etape training Camp, will be released after the announcement of the 2012 Tour de France in October 2011. For the 2012 Etape du Tour should see it back in the Pyrenees and we aim to give you all you will need to gain the fitness for another tough Edition promoted be Mondovelo.

AWAITING TOUR DE FRANCE ROUTE ANNOUCEMENT AND ETAPE ROUTE TO BE CONFIRMED – POSSIBLE COLS FOR ETAPE WEEK – Col du Pierre Saint Martin, Col du Tourmalet, Col de l’Aubisque and Col de Marie-Blanque. Week of 14 – 21 July 2012.

We have not had confirmed weeks as the Etape has not been confirmed in the Pyrenees yet!!! Should you feel that you want to come and train for the Etape in the pyrenees then we may be able to accomodate , on other weeks than the ones shown before the etape, we could incorporate this with the Classic Cols tours, please call or email for availability.

This is the kind of week you need the shorter hills of the UK do not suffice as training, to do a good or comfortable etape you need to ride the mountains! We have ridden the etape several times and have finished in the top 100 and the team here have always ridden well. We will make sure we give you all the advice, tips, help and hints we can, not only to make sure you finish the etape but finish it well. In 2008 Etape in the Pyrenees out of the 9500 starters, over 2000 did not finish due to the bad weather, out of the none finishers 25% of those where British. We want you to succeed and our weeks are planned as such to give you a fighting chance of doing so.

- Fully guided on the road – we ride with you.
- Help and advice of previous Pyrenees Etapists.
- Supported with minibus backup driver/mechanic.
- Half board accommodation.
- Airport and local transfers.
- Etape Reconnaissance day food stops.
