Mavic Trans-Provence 2016
Wed 8th Jun, 2016 @ 9:30 pm
The terrain is so beautiful, you’ll want to cry. Then you’ll want to ride it, hard. Then you’ll want to cry again because it will eat your bike! The Trans-Provence is an epic adventure of a mountain bike race. Feeding on the weaknesses of its riders this race can chew you up and spit you out in an instant, but the rewards – oh, the rewards!
Go on a holiday, they said…
It’s nearly time for the Original Alpine MTB Rally to head into the wilds of the southern French Alps for the 8th edition of the Mavic® Trans-Provence. For 2016 we are upping the ante once again with more than 18,000 metres of descending – the greatest ever – over the six-day race, taking place June 19-24.
Ever since the inaugural edition of the event we have always stayed true to its spirit. 2016 will be no exception as we venture into hidden valleys and discover barely-ridden singletrack on our journey through this famously remote region. With 18 nations represented, including a host of big-name pros from around the globe, it’s clear that even as this pioneering race format matures, our way of doing things doesn’t seem to be getting old.
