La Lazaridès - Cannes 2027

La Lazaridès is a cyclosportive held in Cannes each May since 1992. This timed granfondo-style ride in the Alpes-Maritimes is designed for cyclists seeking a measured effort, not a casual group spin. The event honors Apo Lazaridès, a French rider of Greek descent who resided on the Côte d’Azur and competed for ES Cannes. He was known as a strong climber, a loyal teammate to René Vietto (winner of the Petit Tour de France from Monaco to Paris), and later achieved second place in the world championship behind Briek Schotte. His brother, Lucien, also a professional cyclist, won the Critérium des As.
