L'ÉTAPE AUSTRALIA STRENGTHENS FOR THIRD EDITION

L'Étape Australia 2018
L'Étape Australia 2018 will take place on Saturday 1 December, 2018, with a new route starting and finishing in Jindabyne and a new improved registration system announced this week.

The event has also announced two new home-grown ambassadors, with 2012 and 2016 Australian National Champion Amanda Spratt and cobbled classics specialist Mathew Hayman to race alongside amateurs in the Snowy Mountains.

Since its inception in 2016, L'Étape Australia by le Tour de France has provided a new level of riding experience in Australia, combining the beauty of the Snowy Mountains, the incredible enthusiasm of the locals and an event run to Tour de France professional standards.

NSW Deputy Premier and Member for Monaro John Barilaro said the event has been secured exclusively for the Snowy Mountains by the NSW Government.

“L’Étape Australia is our own slice of the greatest event in international cycling, the Tour de France, and competitors travel from around Australia and the world to take part,” Mr Barilaro said.

“With some of the most stunning mountain terrain in the country, the Snowy Mountains offers the perfect location to host this event and I look forward to welcoming competitors back in December,” he said.

The new fast, simple and user-friendly registration system will open at 12 noon on Thursday 3 May via www.letapeaustralia.com.
