Cyclists faced challenging mountain climbs and scenic routes on fully closed roads in the heart of São Paulo’s countryside. Campos do Jordão is called the Brazilian Switzerland and hosted the race eight times in a row.

The long course (107 km) started at 6:00 a.m., under a 5°C wind chill, followed by the short course (66 km) at 7:20 a.m. Despite the cold, athletes showed great enthusiasm and determination on a route that featured steep ascents and a decisive final sprint in the Capivari district.

In the men’s 107 km, Bruno Martins Lemes, from São José dos Campos (SP), claimed victory with a time of 2h54min43s774, securing his second consecutive title.

“My legs felt great on Pico do Itapeva. We were three from São José dos Campos cycling team; I attacked on Machadinho and managed to open a gap. I controlled the climb and it paid off. It was worth all the dedication and training. I thank God for this back-to-back win,” said Bruno Martins Lemes, also a two-time champion in Cunha (SP).

Teammates Cainã Guimarães de Oliveira and Vinicius Silva dos Santos completed the podium, confirming a 1-2-3 sweep for the São José dos Campos team. “We have the strongest climbing team in the country, and today we proved it. We worked together the whole way, and Bruno’s breakaway sealed a great team result,” the group highlighted.

In the women’s 107 km, Lívia Leozzi Cabeca (Abec Rio Claro) took the win with 3h16min17s336, followed closely by Bruna Tasca Twiaschor (3h16min18s183) and Raiza Goulão Henrique (3h24min32s266).

“This victory means a lot. It’s been a tough year — I had several close calls while training on highways. Now I can train safely on a bike path with Mauro Ribeiro, and that’s made all the difference,” Lívia emphasized.

On the 66 km course, Thiago Braga Perdigão (Escalera) won after a thrilling sprint finish against Leonardo Benedetti — both crossing the line around 1h44m.

“We broke away on the climb and worked together, but in the final sprint I gave everything I had — and it worked!” said Thiago, welcomed at the finish line by his family.

In the women’s 66 km L'Étape Brasil by Tour de France presented by Nubank, Marianna Louise Toledo Machado celebrated victory with a time of 1h52min47s820, alongside her partner who accompanied her throughout the race.

“It’s a special achievement. After fracturing my hand, I thought I wouldn’t make it. I pushed hard from the start, attacked on the descent, and escaped on the climb. When I crossed the finish line, I could hardly believe it — such a beautiful race,” she shared. Marianna had finished third in 2024 on the same course.

Throughout the weekend, theL'Étape Brasil by Tour de France presented by Nubank Village at the Campos do Jordão Convention Center (Av. Macedo Soares, 499 – Capivari) was bustling with activity, hosting kit pickup, sponsor activations, media coverage, and serving as the official meeting point for cyclists and fans.
