Second best
The world’s (second) greatest cycling event
Cykelnerven is the world’s second greatest cycling event.
The (un)official table is as follows:
1. The Tour de France
2. Cykelnerven
3. Giro d’Italia/Vuelta/that other one in Belgium on cobbles
4. Everything else
It is run by the Danish MS Society –
the name, which translates very loosely
as ‘the nerve to ride’ – in partnership
with the MS International Federation
(MSIF).
The Danish team invited MSIF to add an international team so they could share this incredible event with a wider audience,
and support the vital work MSIF does around the world.
Every year 250 top amateur cyclists,
take on the toughest and most famous
peaks of that year’s Tour de France
mountains – just a few weeks before the
pros. They all get the stylish Cykelnerven kit, meals, accommodation and support for the whole event. The riders’ part of the deal is simple –
blood, sweat and tears to get you to the top of the mountains and raise as much money as you can.
Because multiple sclerosis sucks, but together we’re changing lives.
