the Tour de l’Avenir enchants the Vendée public

0

The bike was at the party for 2 days in Vendée. After the team time trial on Thursday evening around La Roche-sur-Yon, the 1st stage of the Future Tower was won by the Norwegian Soren Waerenskjold who also took the leader’s yellow jersey. He broke company with the peloton 800 meters from the finish to win at the top of Boulevard d’Eylau just a few dozen meters ahead of the sprinters.

“It’s a youth race (reserved for under 23s, it’s young people who don’t calculate too much – judge the sponsor of the event and five-time winner of the Tour de France Bernard Hinault -And then since the start there has been racing, there have been 4 breakaways which made for a superb stage (…) We are lucky to have this superb race with young people who want to show themselves and that enchants us”.
