Gravel in Vésubie by Transvésubienne and SRX
Adventure on wheels
To celebrate its 35th anniversary, on 24 September the Transvésubienne will be welcoming a new member of the outdoor cycling family: the Gravel. The organisers of this historic race have come up with a route that will delight all Gravel enthusiasts, who will be able to join the new SRX category, open exclusively to non-suspended and semi-rigid bikes, in a separate classification.
The Gravel en Vésubie by Transvésubienne will set off from St Martin Vésubie on a 110km long journey covering almost 3,400 D+ and 4,100 D-.
This all-round race will be a test of strength and endurance, as well as skill and daring, through mountains, valleys and forests.
For all those who cross the finish line in Nice, after climbing the Pic de Colmiane, the Col de Turini, St Michel and Châteauneuf, this route will mark the beginning of their sporting passion.
