Following a summer 2020 partnership announcement, five climbs of the Tour des Stations event can now be experienced virtually on the ROUVY indoor cycling platform.
Riders on ROUVY can take on a virtual ascent of the Col du Lein, the Col de Crans-Montana, the Col de la Croix-de-Cœur, as well as the climbs of Ovronnaz and Anzère.
Petr Samek, CEO of ROUVY, said “We were impressed by the quality of the landscapes of the Tour des Stations and we are proud to be able to offer them to thousands of our riders. The race of Tour des Stations is a tough, challenging event and ROUVY is the best way to get ready for it from the comfort of your own home. We enable year-round preparation for cyclists, in the most efficient and enjoyable way.”
To celebrate the release of the routes, Tour des Stations is offering a challenge on ROUVY from January 18th to February 14th. This will allow the best men and women in the general classification of the five climbs to win various prizes offered by the organisation.
Grégory Saudan, President of the Tour des Stations said “We are happy to be able to offer our community the opportunity to ride our roads from home especially during winter conditions and pandemic related sanitary restrictions.
“With more than 2,500 cyclists already participating in the online challenge, this release re-affirms the trend we set and allows us to offer great visibility for our partners.”
Five additional climbs (Mayens-de-la-Zour, Vercorin-Nax, Saint-Martin, Thyon 2000 and Nendaz) will also be added to ROUVY by the end of February. In addition, an online race program is scheduled for February 20.
The 4th edition of the Tour des Stations real-world event is scheduled for Saturday August 7th, between Le Châble and Verbier. Nearly 1,500 people have reportedly already registered, including a third aiming to take on the Ultrafondo route and its 8,848m of elevation gain.
