It is optional but is highly recommended.

As you may know, the vast majority of your usual insurance policies (including guarantees included with your bank cards, loan insurance, etc.) totally exclude any participation in sports events either on an amateur or professional basis, and therefore exclude the risks involved in your taking part in the L’Etape du Tour de France.

It is therefore important that you check the scope (and the exclusions) of the cover provided by your normal insurance policies and, if you are not sufficiently covered or not covered at all, you should consider taking out the proposed insurance policies by clicking on the link below.

This insurance will cover you if you have an accident whilst taking part in the event, whether or not you were responsible and whether or not there is an identified liable third party. You are only covered during the event from the time you cross the starting line until the time you cross the finishing line or until the time you abandon the event.

It guarantees the following accidents that may occur during the event :

• in the event of death or total or partial permanent disability (due to this accident), the payment of a capital (within the limits of the purchased insurance option),
• coverage of medical costs (within the limits of the purchased insurance option), and, if necessary, repatriation.

This Individual Accident is optional but highly recommended. It can be taken out in addition to any existing insurance you may already have or if you are not already covered. You may purchase the cover from the insurer of your choice, from your federation or from Marsh, organizer’s broker, whose proposed insurance (detailed notice and application form) can be consulted and downloaded by clicking on the link below.

Coming soon

The race will be timed and will give rise to several rankings:

• A scratch ranking ;
• A real ranking ;
• A real ranking by category

The route will be closed to traffic throughout your race, in the same way as the Tour de France’s professional riders. However a time limit will be established in order to organise the re-opening of the route. Beyond this time limit, the route will be open to traffic again.

The time schedule allows the closing of the route to be scheduled and those disqualified on L’Étape du Tour de France to be managed. Theses disqualifications are based on split times defined for each town crossed. These times are negotiated with the prefectures of each of the departments crossed and the departments of the National Gendarmerie. The strict application of these times (re-opening of the roads to traffic) is the key consideration if we want to continue to take advantage of a route that is completely closed for this race.

You may be disqualified throughout the route. The “time schedule car” precisely follows the time schedule. Any rider who is overtaken by this car (equipped with a stopwatch), anywhere on the route will be considered as no longer in the race.

The “End of the Race” will be indicated by several of the organisation’s vehicles. If you are disqualified, you will be asked to take a diversion or go to one of the repatriation areas where you will be picked up by buses/trucks which will take you and your bike back to the finish village. Bicycles will be placed in the trucks and handed back to riders at the finish village upon presentation of race numbers.

The results will be available on the evening of the event on your time to account.

Your personalized medal will be mailed by post directly to your home address (address indicated in your registration). You'll receive it within a month and a half after the event.

With pleasure! We'd be mad to refuse enthusiastic helpers - maybe you can encourage others to help too? Bring your good humour and generous nature and join our hundreds of volunteers to help make this event run smoothly.

To welcome 16,000 participants, more than 1,000 volunteers are needed in the start and finish towns and along the route to carry out the various tasks.
