Tour de Vendée 2021 – Les Herbiers – La Roche-sur-Yon : 199,8 km
The Tour de Vendée is the last race in a series of small, one-day races that make up the French Road Cycling Cup. This race therefore acts as the grand finale to that competition and marks the final chance for a lot of domestic riders to haul themselves up the overall standings, making for one incredibly aggressive and entertaining race. The Tour de Vendée was first held back in 1972 but remained an amateur race until 1979. Since becoming a professional race the route has typically finished in the town of La Roche-sur-Yon, the capital of the Vendée region in west-central France. With 200km of largely flat parcours, culminating with several laps of a lumpy, criterium-like finishing circuit around La Roche-sur-Yon, the course is a playground for the sprinters and puncheurs of the peloton.
