LEA-MARIA at the Velodrome in Aigle last week. Long life to track cycling.
The Italian brand of sunglasses BRIKO was so fashion in the 90’s, the Raider was choosed by MARCO PANTANI during his epic 1998. Nostalgia
On the way back from Geneva, we stopped in Lausanne to drink a good beer and meet a good friend BLAIZE FELBERBAUM. We love Lausanne, small city with a very chic taste of frenchness and not at all swissness. For me Lausanne is not only ECAL or TAS, I remember Lausanne for the À travers Lausanne a race contre-le-montre, the Tuesday after the Tour. Was like a “red carpet” for the winner. The race was won by FAUSTO COPPI, EDDY MERCKX(4x), POULIDOR, ZOETEMEL(5x) and in 1998 after a fantastic Tour, by MARCO PANTANI.
The depart was in Quai d’Ouchy and the arrivee, after 4km, in Sauvablin but the Rue du Petit-Chêne was a breakheart hill, 200m at 18% in pavé.

So sad to hear that the cycling icon LAURENT FIGNON passed away today. Always so elegant with his round glasses wearing the Maglia Rosa or the Maillot Jaune or wearing the cycling kit of the team Renault-Elf.
During his career he won the 1989 Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France in 1983 and in 1984 and the Milano-Sanremo in 1988 and in 1989. The same year he was second at the Tour de France defeated by GREG LEMOND by 8 seconds.
Bonne route!
