The Saint-Étienne Loire GP hardened and lengthened – News

The Saint-Étienne Loire Grand Prix will open the N1 French Cup on March 27. The event will start and will once again arrive in front of the Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium. Like every year, runners will have to climb four times in Saint-Christo-en-Jarez from the Col de la Gachet.

After 130 kilometers, they will climb the Pillon hump, added to the event in 2015. The novelty is that the runners will have to climb it twice. After a fifth and final passage in Saint-Héand, they will dive towards Saint-Étienne, with the detour by the coast – not listed – of Tour-en-Jarez.

There will be 167.6 kilometers on the menu, against 150.2 km in recent years.
