Stage 2 of Tour de l’Ardèche cancelled as precaution

The organisers of the Tour de l’Ardèche have decided not to start Stage 2, scheduled for Tuesday 10 September, as a precaution due to the national protests taking place across France that day.

While riders and teams were ready for another day of racing, the safety of everyone involved - athletes, staff, organisers, and fans - remains the top priority. The organisation aims to avoid potential risks or unforeseen situations with this decision.

For our team, this means an unexpected rest day in the middle of the race. Instead of competing, we will complete a training ride today to ensure our riders are as well-prepared as possible for the remaining stages.

We respect the organisers’ decision and remain committed, alongside them and the other teams, to ensuring a safe and competitive continuation of the Tour de l’Ardèche.
