The final kilometers of all five stages of the 2022 Tour of the Alps (TotA) are now on ROUVY. For the international community, a virtual TotA Challenge will run until May 1, with exclusive Tour of the Alps prizes to grab, together with the opportunity to support the charity, DEBRA.
This year the Tour of the Alps received a virtual twin on March 28. And, until May 1, it will be possible to take part in the Tour of the Alps #LiveUphill Challenge on the ROUVY platform.
Participants will have five weeks to complete the final kilometres of all five stages of the 2022 Tour of the Alps and take on a virtual challenge of these Euro-region climbs.
The real-world event takes in the climbs of the Tirol – Südtirol – Trentino region and is set for April 18-22, 2022.
All athletes who complete the virtual challenge on ROUVY will be able to participate in a draw for special Tour of the Alps prizes, from cycling kits by Alé to original jerseys signed by race favourites of the next Tour of the Alps.
There is also the opportunity to do some good: for every athlete who finishes all five stages by May 1, the Tour of the Alps will make a donation to DEBRA, the non-profit organization that supports research on epidermolysis bullosa, a rare disease that severely impacts the quality of life of many children.
“The Virtual Tour of the Alps is a project that started far away,” said Maurizio Evangelista, General Manager of the Tour of the Alps.
“Today, indoor cycling allows many people to experience all kinds of routes directly from home in a realistic way. We wanted to give many people the opportunity to ride the same famous roads of regions known worldwide.
“ROUVY’s technology, which allows participants to appreciate the real charm of the areas where the riding takes place, is ideal for adding value to this initiative, as well as succeeding in promoting the region.”
