LIVE THE DREAM [FOLLOW A RIDER ON LE TOUR]
ANNECY TIME TRIAL 23RD JULY
Have you always wondered what it’s like to follow a rider in a Tour de France Time Trial?
As Official Tour Operators to the Tour de France, Sports Tours International are able to answer that for you by offering you this fabulous day at the Tour.
We can offer you the chance to follow a rider during Annecy Individual time trial on 20th July.
Your day will start with access to the riders’ enclosure where all the riders will be warming up for the Time Trial.
An Official of the Tour de France will then take you on a visit of the rider’s enclosure where you will get close up with all the riders and get to take many photos that will be the envy of your friends back home.
You will then get the call from your driver to be ready as you are about to pull up beside the Start ramp where next to you your rider is being counted down to the start. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Go.
The car accelerates and you are off on the course of the Annecy Time Trial. You will be following your rider around the crystal blue waters of the beautiful Lake Annecy, past cheering crowds of spectators.
Maybe he will catch the rider in front of him? Maybe there be a mechanical? Whatever happens you will be there to witness it. This is better than TV, this is real. It is truly a great buzz.
You will race through the kilometres amazed at the speed of your rider. You will race up the finishing straight and exit with the race cars as your rider speeds on to the finish line. You will then take your place in the exclusive Izoard Hospitality Bus, located 100mts from the finish line where you will be able to see the rest of the riders finish their time trial. There will be live tv coverage and drink and snacks, and after the finish champagne will be opened to celebrate the stage winner.
This is truly a day to remember, a day following a rider at the Tour de France.
