Paris-Tours 2023

08.10

Paris–Tours, first held in 1896, is one of cycling’s oldest one-day races and the traditional finale to the European season. Long known as the sprinters’ classic, it once finished on the famous Avenue de Grammont before evolving with gravel sectors and short climbs near Tours. Organised by ASO, it has seen legends like Eddy Merckx, Sean Kelly and Erik Zabel triumph, with Gustave Danneels, Paul Maye, Guido Reybrouck and Zabel sharing the record of three victories.
