The Côte d’Azur: a 300 km stretch of glittering coastline in the south of France, known around the world as a playground for the rich and famous. But, behind the glitz and glamour, it’s a cyclist's paradise.
World Downhill MTB champion and Côte d’Azur native Fabien Barel takes us on a tour of the best cycling that the area has to offer. With help from current and former pro cyclists Matteo Trentin, Megan Armitage, and Nicolas Roche - and a few of his local friends - Fabien explores trails that are some of the best kept secrets in the Cote d’Azur, and gives a sneak preview of the roads that will host the climax of the 2024 Tour de France.
