This upload was flimed on June 6th 2021 - we had the final stage 8 of the 2021 Criterium du Dauphine over the Col de Joux Plane. This is how you can combine watching with a great road bike ride cycling in the French Alps if you plan your day beforehand. Stage 8 of the Criterium du Dauphine combined with a 100K ride with over 1700M of climbing from Samoens cycling to the summit of the Col de Joux Plane before watching the Criterium du Dauphine race action lower down on the Col. Whether watching the Tour de France in person, or the Criterium du dauphine, then principle is the same. Perfect planning to make the most of your day.
