As the Title Sponsor and Official Mobility Partner of the event, Kosmocar-SKODA will have a strong presence with the iconic ŠKODA Lead Cars, a unique interactive experience at the L’Étape Village, and this year’s SKODA Cycling Team, which features three distinguished athletes with numerous national and international achievements:

Periklis Ilias, world champion in mountain biking, who won the "The Race" (150 km with 2,500m elevation gain) at L’Étape Greece by Tour de France 2024, wining the iconic yellow jersey of the Tour de France.
Polychronis Tzortzakis, road cycling champion with international distinctions, who notably represented Greece at the 2020 Olympic Games.
Anastasia Tsourouktzi, triathlete and winner of the PPC IRONMAN® 70.3® Marathon, Greece 2024, another event organized by euZHN feelosophy.
In the lead-up to the race, L’Étape Greece, in collaboration with Holmes Place, provided cyclists with the opportunity to train like professionals for the medium or long race route in true Tour de France style. From February 3 to March 2, more than 200 spinning classes at Holmes Place gyms transformed into authentic Tour de France and L’Étape Greece by Tour de France 2025 courses, simulating race routes with immersive virtual content. In total, 1,260 participants covered approximately 6,000 kilometers over 236 hours of training sessions, and the most dedicated riders—those who covered the most distance—won exclusive L’Étape Greece memorabilia.

During the race, athletes will enjoy world-class Tour de France-level conditions and full support at every stage of the route: Top Cycles provides the event’s official cycling apparel. AVRA WAVE ensures hydration. Coffee Island, GU Energy Greece, and Bella Frutta & Orsero supply the necessary energy. Marathon Bikes offers technical support. Cobra Center contributes to race safety. Physioathens takes care of athlete recovery. Ktima Brintziki and Ileian Brewery will offer premium local wine and beer tastings. The race is supported by the Municipality of Pyrgos and operates under the auspices of the Hellenic Cycling Federation (EOP), confirming the event’s high standards and quality.

See you on Saturday, April 12, at L’Étape Village in Ancient Olympia! Get ready for a day full of energy, excitement, music, flavors, activities for athletes, spectators, and families—and above all, a shared passion for cycling!
