@ Drakenstein Correctional Centre FranschhoekThe Bestmed Tour of Good Hope is an internationally recognised five-day road race based in the Paarl-Franschhoek Valley. The tour consists of an individual time trial and four road stages that follow a clover leaf format.
The Bestmed Tour of Good Hope encompasses five days of clover leaf racing through the Cape Winelands over a total distance of 490km and 5218m vertical ascent.
The first stage is largely flat and fast while stage 2 presents a 25km time trial. Riders entered in the Amateur Teams competition complete a Team Time Trial while solo riders do an individual race against the clock.
Stages 3 and 4 are the Tour’s queen stages which traverse Franschhoek Pass, Du Toits Kloof Pass and Bains Kloof Pass. Both stages are presented over 140km respectively and are the major challenges of the 5-day Tour.
The 5th stage is flat and fast, apart from the final ascent up to the Iconic Taal Monument finish on the Paarl Mountain.
