Tour de France Etape 3 Metz-Reims
There we were with our "Jacky-Durand"-Website banner - right on french TV and after we heard that Jacky Durand had once again escaped with his old friend Franck Renier. They were always dreaming of such an escape together during a TdF-Stage. Jacky even had the time for a short greeting to us, they were caught later by the peloton. We did not manage to reach the finish as there was an accident on the highway to Reims and we had to stop to help the victims. Fortunately nobody was blessed harmfully.
