La Course

A cursory look at the profile of this year’s La Course would lead you to conclude it’s a sprinters’ race but with very little racing having taken place since the end of lockdown it could prove unpredictable.

The race had been scheduled to take place in Paris on the Champs Elysées on the Tour de France’s final day, a return to its roots. However, when the Tour was rescheduled it was moved to Nice and will take place ahead of the men’s race on the same day.
