The first time trial, which for Le Loop means a lovely, short day out, with a chance to spin the legs, recover from the first two stages and rest up for what lies ahead. We’ll be riding a great 35km loop through the farmland to the west of the town, with a couple of small climbs. Some will choose to test their speed with the help of Strava (though respecting traffic rules) while others will enjoy the opportunity for an easy ride. Then we transfer to the next stage start on the coast and should have time for a dip in the sea before dinner!
