Paris–Tours Espoirs (English: Paris–Tours Prospects) is a French single-day cycling race held every October from the outskirts of Paris to the cathedral city of Tours. It is organised by the Amaury Sport Organisation.[1]
The race is held as a 1.2U race[2] on the UCI Europe Tour – for riders 23 years old or under – and is held on the same day as the elite Paris–Tours event; although this is held over a longer course than the espoir race.
