Cycling enthusiasts should not miss the opportunity to ride the Alpes-Maritimes cols in southern France. The experience becomes even more memorable with the Mavic neutral support and expert route management by former members of France's Garde Républicaine. The ride is also made special by the company of some of the best professionals in the business.

For the Grand Tour Ball ride, riders will be placed in one of the twenty-one ride groups, each led by a former pro rider. The groups will be organised according to the riders'  ability and experience. During the ride, riders can change their groups with the agreement of their ride leaders.
