Riders in L’Etape London on Sunday 27 September will have the opportunity to feel like a pro, and take home one of six very special, official, Tour de France jerseys. The jerseys are the latest feature in to the event that already boasts a number of exclusives including a Tour de France museum, leg shaving experience and a photo opportunity on the winners’ podium.
Produced by Human Race, the sportive will be hosted at the Lee Valley VeloPark, home of the 2012 Olympic Games.
Everyone taking part in L’Etape London will finish with a lap of the highly regarded one mile closed road track at Lee Valley VeloPark. During this, riders will pass through the 1 kilometre to go archway and start a timed section, with the fastest male and female of the day on this section taking home a sought-after green Tour de France jersey, exactly the same as the pros receive.
Youth riders will be entered into a separate competition to win an official white jersey, again for the fastest male and female.
Access Sport is the official charity of ‘L’Etape London by le Tour de France’, and everybody who enters is encouraged to support the charity. The person who fundraises the highest amount for Access Sport will be rewarded with a coveted yellow Tour de France jersey signed by the 2015 winner. Additionally everybody who raises over £100 will be entered into a draw to win an official yellow jersey too.
Three carefully designed routes of 42, 92 and 117 miles are available at L’Etape London by le Tour de France, which follow in the tracks of the pro riders and re-creates much of the 2014 stage 3 Tour de France Cambridge to London section.
The event will feature a neutral start, with the 0km marker just outside Epping Forest, and the entire course will be signed with official Tour de France arrows. All riders will receive a Tour de France styled ride number and stage profile bike sticker, with the opportunity to see the official le Tour de France vehicles up close.
Limited entries into L’Etape London by Tour de France are available now.
