Finish of the final stage in Les Gets<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

Starting from La L\u00e9ch\u00e8re-Les-Bains, the 145 km grand finale will serve up a succession of climbs ready for use as a launch pad for an epic adventure: the roads up the Col des Aravis, Col de la Colombi\u00e8re, C\u00f4te de Ch\u00e2tillon and, especially, Col de Joux Plane, are the perfect terrain to go on the offensive, as is the plunge to Morzine, where the top descenders in the peloton will come out to play. The ascent to Les Gets will wrap up this climbing-fest.<\/p>\n\n\n

The complete route<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n

The 2021 Criterium will take the start in Issoire with a loop stage. The cyclists will then carry on a tough yet balanced course, with four stages run mostly in Auvergne and a descent into the Rhone valley to finish near the Alpine peaks. The favorites will compete on a gruelling Alpine trilogy with finishes in Le Sappey-en-Chartreuse and the ski resorts of La Plagne and Les Gets.<\/p>\n
