Yesterday evening, Team Grumpy picked up rumours of a return of the Duo Normand to the calendar in 2025. This morning it is confirmed as a post on the Duo Normand Facebook page confirms the race will take place on 21st September 2025. The event hasn't taken place since 2019 - it was abandoned in 2020 due to the Covid pandemic and wasn't run 2021 through 2024. I even wrote an 'obituary' of the event, with an overview of Team Grumpy's performances over the years.
I expect the event will be on the revised 'Norman Leopard' course.
The Duo Normand is Team Grumpy's favourite time trial, and we have ridden it every year (bar one) between 2003 and 2019. Check the reports on this website!
