After our successful Spring Classics Series, welcome to Team Velos' new Monuments Summer Series - La Grand Boucle!
In honour of cycling's most famous race and the Women's Tour's most prestigious Stage Race we'll be hitting France for (like the Tour des Femmes) 8 Stages (with additional prologue), tying in some of the most famous rides and riders in cycling history with each Stage name in homage of their contributions.
The parcours features:
* 3x flat points races
* 3x hilly/mountain scratch races
* 3x ITTs
To be eligible for GC, riders need to complete 1x of each type of Stage. Various jerseys will also be up for grabs.

*** Race day 2 sees us hit the cobbles of Genntil 8 in northern France for a custom finish after a 2nd descent of the Petit KOM (approx. 1.5 laps)
* Stage 2 is the NIBALI Stage and our first scratch race of our Tour. Nibali surged to his 2014 Tour win with a guttsy move on the cobblestones and loved a downhill finish too. Who will take the Shark of Medina's Etape here?
FIN points are awarded as follows: 100, 95, 90, for the podium and from 86 reducing by one point for subsequent finishers.
For those chasing green and polka dot jerseys the following segments score points (they do NOT affect race placing):
Green jersey:
1. Dos d'Ane (FTS) 10>1 pts for first 10 in each Category
2. Ballon Lap 2 (FTS) 10>1
KOM
3. Petit KOM Lap 1 (FTS) 10>1
4. Petit KOM Lap 2 (FTS)
