La Planche des Belles Filles wants cyclo-cross in the Winter Olympics
The Haute-Saône region is pushing for La Planche des Belles Filles to host cyclo-cross at the 2030 Winter Games, according to a report in L'Equipe.
The site, made famous by the Tour de France, is backed by ex-pro Lucie Lefèvre and Thibaut Pinot, who joked about a comeback of sorts: “One day in February 2030, I’ll finally win at La Planche.”
Cyclo-cross has support from UCI president David Lappartient and Olympic adviser Michel Barnier.
The IOC will decide in early 2026, ahead of the next Winter Games.
