“Cirque du Suffer” Route Details (Paris)
This one is silly, but after all the Rebel Routes we’ve created, we can’t help but love it. Around and around we go, 50 laps of the Arc de Triomphe with a sprint finish!
Some riders have complained of dizziness after lots of fast laps, but in our opinion, the only thing not to like here is that it’s a point-to-point route, meaning it can’t host multi-lap events.
Pro tip: steering definitely shortens the laps, and this could matter a lot in races. Read all about it here >

Route Description
Starting from the Paris start pens, you’ll turn left and head straight up the Avenue des Champs-Élysées to the Arc de Triomphe. And that’s where the magic begins…
You’ll turn right at the top, then stay left for the next ~18.5km as you complete 50 laps of the Arc de Triomphe! That’s right… 50 laps.
Once that’s done, you’ll hang a right to head down the other side of the Champs-Élysées, going through the Lutece Reverse Sprint on your way to the lap banner, which marks the finish of the route.
