 As a sign of things to come, the sun and agreeable temperatures (20° C) accompanied Jonathan Fumeaux, Sébastien Reichenbach and Johann Tschopp on their reconnaissance of the roads that the Cyclosportive des Vins du Valais will follow on August 1st.

The three professionals on the IAM Cycling team, joined by Arnaud Grand, Steve Morabito and Julien Taramarcaz, laid down a reference time on two of the three clocked sections of the upcoming major event for devoted amateur cyclists.

On the sections between Conthey and Savièse and then again between Sion and Lens, the pros put the hammer down to set a time standard against which all riders of the cyclosportive in August can compare themselves.  The small peloton also was able to give valuable feedback to the organizers about the route in order to ensure a maximum amount of safety for the participants on August 1st, where there will be three route options on offer.

Johann Tschopp was full of praise for the course.

“I took a lot of pleasure in discovering the winding roads through the vineyards.  The scenery is amazing.  But everyone should be well prepared because the climbs are not easy.  With proper training, participants will be able to enjoy the views and have fun, which is always the priority of a cycling event like this one.”
