Pyrenees Preparations

The VeloSport crew gets an early start on viewing for the finish of stage 17 in Revel.
The VéloSport Vacations staff more than doubled overnight as they prepared for the final week of the Tour and two separate groups of cyclists. Eddy Cordier, Sebastien Pillou and Thierry Lesenne made the trip south to Soreze from Brittany while Pierre Hirn came in from the eastern part of France. John Gatch and Dean Peterson arrived from the Midwest and will be the managers of the two groups—Anquetil and Bobet.

The separate teams spent most of the day reviewing plans and organizing equipment for tomorrow’s arrivals. The VéloSport crew also did some reconnaissance work in Revel for the stage finish there on Wednesday, July 20. After catching the exciting finish of today’s flat, fast stage, (Cheers to Chris Horner for his courageous effort today!) they managed to work in an easy ride through the sunflower fields surrounding Soreze and Revel.
