The first ever climb of La Pierre-Saint-Martin in the Tour de France 2015 in video!
After today's rest day in Pau, the Tour de France 2015 will go on tomorrow, with the first mountain stage. It will take place in the Pyrenees, between Tarbes and La Pierre-Saint-Martin. For La Pierre-Saint-Martin, it'll be the very first time it receives the Tour de France and it's thus not surprising that this finish was being asked for for years now.

The stage will have three 4th category climbs which precede the final climb (see the race route in detail) but it's the mountain top finish which will have a very big influence on the general classification and it might even decide the Tour tomorrow. ...

Video and photo flashback on the Tro Bro Léon 2015
One week ago, the riders have been doing quite some kilometers on the ribins - the sand/stone roads - of the Tro Bro Léon 2015, 32nd edition of the race which is often compared to Paris-Roubaix and which thus carries the nickname of Hell of the West.

You probably discovered the summary of the race last week and you maybe also saw the photos.

In this article, we watch back on this great race between land and sea in Brittany, in order to share some filmed images with you in a summary video, but also the dedicated photo section of the Tro Bro Léon 2015 on this website!
The video summary of the Tro Bro Léon 2015

A look behind the scenes of the Tour Down Under 2015 by Jérémy Roy (FDJ)
Last year we discovered several videos created by professional cyclists, thanks to a camera on their bike, often directly supplied (including the editing of the video) by Shimano. Jérémy Roy of the FDJ team, rider and engineer and interested by new technologies, was one of the first users of such an onboard camera and the French rider thus regularly asks for an authorisation to use a camera inside the race.

He also did this in the Santos Tour Down Under 2015 which just ended today and in this article you can discover or re-discover the different videos he published.
The authorisation
As explained in the introduction of this article, Jérémy Roy requested an authorisation to be able to use an onboard camera during a UCI offici ...

Open letter Jérémy Roy: 'LoVelo'
Yesterday morning, Jérémy Roy published on his own official website an open letter in the wake of the recent events related to doping affairs in cycling and more specifically the results of the USADA case against Lance Armstrong who was stripped of his 7 Tour de France titles (among others).

This letter is available in French in this article of his website, but in order to make it accessible to a wider public, I decided to translate the letter, in collaboration with Jérémy.

Below you can find the English translation of Jérémy Roy's letter:

Jérémy Roy: Paris-Nice - undeciced until the final time trial! (interview)
The 2012 season has now well started and I thus thought it was about time to get back in touch with Jérémy Roy. Indeed, this year again, Jérémy accepted to regularly publish some interviews or other articles on velowire.com. We left him on the roads around Moussy-le-Vieux in December.

In this interview, we get back on the start of the season and we take a look at the Paris-Nice edition which was about to start at the moment we did this interview ...

VW : When we take a look back, what does a rider like you do during the winter period?
JR : The winter period always goes by very quickly. I got off my bike for three weeks. From there, I got back on my back at my mountain bike race, organised by my club and my fan club. That's always quite a hard comeback, 60 kilometers on a mountain bike. After that race, ...

The FDJ BigMat 2012 team has been presented during the fan club weekend
Last weekend, in Othis, close to the place where la Française des Jeux is located in Moussy-le-Vieux, the FDJ BigMat 2012 team has been presented to the public during the weekend which was organised specifically for the members of the Club des Supporters (fan club) of the FDJ team.

A bike ride Saturday afternoon, a get together at night with the presentation of the 2012 team on Saturday night and a cyclo cross on Sunday formed the programme of this interesting weekend.
The bike ride and the interview with Jérémy Roy
On Saturday afternoon, after the riders of the FDJ BigMat team already did their training ride in the morning with a loop between Moussy-le-Vieux and Senlis, a 37 kilometer long bike rider from Moussy-le-Vieux and going through Plailly, Ermenonville, Eve and Othis before coming back to Moussy-le-Vieux was open to the fans of the team who could thus share a part of the ride with the riders of the team.

A good occasion to see their prefered r ...

Moussy-le-Vieux: the cyclo cross Jérémy Roy deserved to win!
It happened before already at the Rhône-Alpes Isère Tour earlier this year in May and today again, Jérémy Roy was taken away the victory by surprise in the last meters of the cyclo cross of Moussy-le-Vieux.
The summary of the race
Even though Arnaud Démare (CC Nogent-sur-Oise, Jérémy Roy's team mate in the FDJ BigMat team from January 2012) passed the finish line first, just after the start, with his hands in the air and even though he stayed ahead for almost the whole first lap, quite rapidly Jérémy Roy managed to get away from the peloton. Almost immediately he found Christophe Delamarre of the Bleus de France team stuck in his whe ...

Jérémy Roy (FDJ): I think the Tour de France 2012 will be quite difficult anyway! (video interview)
As you know, the official presentation of the Tour de France 2012 took place this morning and early this afternoon. This was the occasion to discover the final details in addition to what had already been published here, but also the occasion for some riders who have played an important role in the Tour de France 2011 to comment de race course.

With Jérémy Roy we thought it was a long time ago already that there haven't been any interviews in his section at velowire.com and it was thus also the occasion to ask him to comment this race course which has now been officially presented, but also to briefly come back to the end of his season ...

Jérémy Roy (FDJ), super combative rider of the Tour de France 2011: attacking is my way of riding
The Tour de France 2011 has now ended since almost two weeks and, you must admit, we all miss it a bit to be able to see the stages on TV or to follow them on the roads of France like I've been doing!

A French rider got particularly noticed during this Tour de France and that was of course Jérémy Roy. Very often leading the race, just like this rider often has done in the races in which he participated, Jérémy Roy was chosen to be the most combative rider of the Tour de France 2011 and he talks about this title and his Tour de France for us.

We left ...
