THE LEGENDS: MONT VENTOUX
We have come accustomed to expecting the unexpected whenever the most famous mountain in cycling, Mont Ventoux, features in the Tour de France. So when the 2021 Tour de France route was announced, it instantly got people talking about 'that stage'.
Stage 11 featured an ascent of Mont Ventoux not once, but twice so we look back at what happened and how the pro's tackled the Giant of Provence.
The ultimate bag for cyclists. Transport your kit with ease, from the boot of your car to the hotel room, to the wash!
