About
From the medieval village of Peille in the Alpes-Maritimes, the Monaco Gravel Race sends riders deep into the Mercantour National Park, one of the wildest natural spaces in southern France. Race distances of 98 and 120 km combine technical mountain tracks with panoramic views stretching to the Mediterranean, as part of the UCI Gravel World Series. Two UCI race formats and two cyclosportive routes welcome elite and amateur riders alike. The rugged limestone terrain demands technical skill and sustained endurance; at Push Rider, the threshold-building phase and weekly coach check-in calibrate your FTP targets so the neuromuscular load of repeated short climbs never generates early energy debt.
