Tour de l’Avenir 2022 MU23 – Stage 2 – Benet – Civray : 152,8 km
For Under-23 riders, the Tour de l’Avenir is the biggest race of the entire season and their best chance of attracting the eyes of WorldTour talent scouts. The race is, in many ways, a mini Tour de France and features everything from pan-flat sprint stages to cloud-topping summit finishes and testing time trials. Ride well here and not only will a rider guarantee themselves a big contract for the following season, but they’ll also destine themselves for future greatness in races. The mountains that feature in these stages are the same that also appear in the Tour de France earlier in the year. In the last few editions alone, climbs like the Col du Glandon, Grand Colombier and the Col de la Madeleine have all featured and catalysed some pretty epic GC battles.
