  • The godmother of the peloton: Meet the chef who's cooked for generations of Tour de France riders

    Jul 12, 2024 | rouleur.cc | James Startt

    She may not be a household name, but she is a familiar face at bike races, and for more than 30 years Françoise Deneckere has been a veritable godmother to many riders in the professional ranks.

    Jul 9, 2024 | rouleur.cc | James Startt

    The Tour de France VIP village is filled with champions of old. Though, in the case of Marcel Kittel, the not so old. Kittel, one of the greatest sprinters of his generation, retired in 2019 at the age of 31, but he is on hand at this year’s race hosting guests for the Tour, not to mention enjoying a front-row seat for the racing.

I can see him now in fact, holding court with a glass of local Burgundy, opining on the exploits of the day and recounting those of legends like Fausto Coppo and Jacques Anquetil.

  • 'It will be like the final of Paris-Roubaix': The making of the Tour de France's first gravel stage

    Jul 6, 2024 | rouleur.cc | James Startt

    One of the most anticipated stages in this year’s Tour de France is stage nine on Sunday, a newly anointed gravel stage, hailed as the stage of the chemins blancs, or the white roads. For the Tour de France, it’s a first. But really, this foray into gravel has been years in the making.
