carbon29er Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 Apparently ASO is launching a L'Étape SA where local riders can do a Tour de France stage right here in SA. On a Zwift or Tacx video perhaps? http://letapesouthafrica.com/ Any bets on the price? I reckon about 8 entries to the Argus.
Pure Savage Posted October 13, 2016 Posted October 13, 2016 and will traverse a varied topography through the beautiful South African countryside. The event will be held under race conditions meaning, just like on Le Tour de France, the route is dedicated to the rider on fully-closed roads. If it is was it says it is, it will be awesome, lets hope its near Cape Town

Jurgens Smit Posted November 14, 2016 Posted November 14, 2016 Is there any idea yet of where this might be held? I'd love to do it but I can't enter without knowing any specifics, It might interfere with my exam schedule
