Fun on land and competition at sea!

As the ENGIE KITE TOUR final approaches, all the riders – particularly those who have their sights set on the podium – will head out onto the water to score points and move up in the general ranking. Then once they are back on land, the festive and friendly atmosphere will provide riders and spectators alike with opportunities to engage in discussion and share some moments together at the ENGIE KITE TOUR village.

The ENGIE KITE TOUR ambassadors will be there. We know we will find Alexia Fancelli, Benoit Gomez and Nicolas Parlier there.

The ENGIE Youth Academy continues

The ENGIE Youth Academy is an internship for young people from the region who have a local coach, and is sponsored by ENGIE Kite Tour ambassadors. After a day's training, the youngsters will take part in the stage – under supervision. The whole idea is to give them the opportunity to get acquainted with wind sports, as well as leaving a mark and a legacy in the region, training the enthusiasts and champions of the future. Alexia and Benoit will be the sponsors for this stage in the Vendée.
