Gravel des Monts du Lyonnais - Oullins-Pierre-Bénite 2027

Gravel des Monts du Lyonnais - Oullins-Bénite takes place in April at Stade du Merlo in Oullins-Bénite, south of Lyon. This is the third edition, with sponsorship from David Moncoutié, a Tour de France stage winner and multiple King of the Mountains winner at the Vuelta a España. The route enters the Monts du Lyonnais, with paths leading up to Yzeron, the course's highest point. Despite the climbs, organizers state riders can remain on their bikes throughout, excluding aid stations. On clear days, views extend to the Alps and Mont Blanc. Following the race, a catered meal and prize ceremonies will be held for overall and age-category winners, for both women and men.
