BRETON CYCLING TEAM IN TOUR DE FRANCE

The Tour de France is in its final week with the peloton closing in on climbing the ever imposing Alpes. The tour spent a few wonderful days racing through the Brittany countryside and the region has been represented by its own cycling team with the presence of Bretagne-Séché Environnement.

Brittany is a hot-bed of French cycling, its cradle in a way, due to its intense cycling activity and the place it holds in the sport’s history, with four winners of Le Tour (Lucien Petit-Breton, Jean Robic, Louison Bobet and Bernard Hinault), even if the last stage victory by a rider from Brittany dates back to twenty-one years ago (Pascal Lino in 1994) and the last Yellow Jersey worn by one of the region’s natives is only slightly more recent (Stéphane Heulot in 1996).

This year's best French rider has been breton-born Warren Barguil who is currently 10th in the standings.

If you look closely at Bretagne-Séché Environnement riders you'll notice a link with the USA as they are riding on wheels made by American Classic.
