We’re excited to bring back the À l’Attaque format for 2026
With the Men’s, Women’s, and Foldies categories returning this year, we’re not only expanding the Men’s category to three divisions, but also introducing an exciting new race format: the Team Time Trial. This closed-circuit, high-speed challenge is designed for amateur riders looking to experience the thrill of the Tour de France EFGH Singapore Criterium

The Race

- Races begin with a neutral lap led by a motorcycle, followed by a mass-start under the Start/Finish gantry.
- Duration varies by category, with all races designed for high engagement and spectator excitement.
