We are taking on an epic cycling challenge: Le Loop.
Alitex stands as a sponsor and advocate for the epic cycling challenge, Le Loop. This year there will be 28 brave individuals from the Alitex community taking on Stages 6 & 7 of the 2024 Tour de France route.
At the heart of our cycling challenge lies a real commitment to making a positive impact. We are not just conquering the challenging Tour de France route; we are also on a mission to raise crucial funds for the William Wates Memorial Trust (WWMT). Each team member has pledged to contribute a minimum amount to support the trust's noble mission.
The William Wates Memorial Trust is dedicated to empowering disadvantaged young people, steering them away from the pitfalls of crime and violence, and helping them realize their full potential. Through Alitex’s generous support and the collective efforts of our cycling community, we aim to make a tangible difference in the lives of these young individuals. The funds raised directly contribute to charities that engage youth through sports, arts, and education.
As we pedal through the challenging stages of Le Loop we invite you to join us in this meaningful journey by contributing to the fundraising efforts. You will be able to follow us along on our socials, track our training and the main event!
Thank you to our Sponsors

Best of luck to you, my friend! I raced bikes as a teenager (BMX) and then trained for road racing for a year and a half, before giving it up after being hit by cars for the third time in a span of about 6 months. (Miami is not a place to ride bicycles, nor train since it's flat and at sea level). Riding in The Tour de France was always a dream for me... Therefore, I'll be living vicariously through you as you fulfill your own dream!
