The Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenge is a professional cycle road race first held in 2019, which takes place between Vaison-la-Romaine and Mont Ventoux. The event was classified by the UCI as category 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour from 2019 to 2022.[1][2][3]
In 2023, the race joined the UCI ProSeries. The event was not held in 2024, as the proposed date clashed with the 2024 Summer Olympics torch relay held in the location,[4] while the 2025 event was cancelled due to financial reasons.[5]
