Ian To's Via Race has been launched with a reasonable amount of info here.

I'm kind of tempted to apply as the route should be good - Picos, Pyrenees, Massif Central, Alps, Appenines, etc. Lots of places I've never ridden, and no crazy off-road parcours.
No real details of where the controls are yet (maybe he hasn't worked it out), but the actual application won't be until Jan so it just costs £10 to have the option of a place.
It is self-routing but should be plenty of options, not like Eastern Europe. And drivers are OK in France and Spain - but not Italy.
I like doing the first edition of something.
He has been a bit of a tease with the application and is clearly a bit Insta-obsessed, but maybe that is the way that you have to market these things to Young People nowadays.
I'm not entirely convinced but I think I'll risk the £10 and see what develops. Anyone else fancy it...?
