Competition Desire

Enter your details below for the chance to win a place at the sold out Etape du Tour 2022.

Thanks to our friends at Thomson Bike Tours, we’re have a pair of entries to the ultimate closed road sportive to give away. Travel isn't included in the prize, so you'll need to make your own way to this unique experience - the only way that amateur riders can test themselves on closed roads on the exact same route as a Tour de France stage.

The Etape du Tour takes place on Sunday, July 10 and features the infamous Alpe d’Huez, taking on a total of 170 km with 4,700 m elevation gain. This is your opportunity to ride on exactly the same route as the riders of the Tour de France, who will ride this exact stage just four days later.
