Descriptif

Get up close and personal with the runners of this legendary TDS trail.
Beautiful, technical, wild, demanding - there's no shortage of adjectives to describe the TDS, which links the Val d'Aoste to Savoie, exploring the villages of the Tour du Mont-Blanc and the mountains that surround them. Riding this unique playground means taking on trails where history and the mountains, the technical nature of the terrain and the friendliness of its inhabitants all come together.

The riders will set off from Courmayeur in Italy at 11.50pm on Monday 26 August, starting at the summit of the Col du Petit Saint Bernard. They will then descend towards Bourg Saint Maurice. They'll need to build up their strength before tackling a terrible 1750 D+ climb!
Come and cheer them on, and enjoy this extraordinary atmosphere for top-level athletes!
