Complete Starting List
Brief:Christelle Reille from the Clovis Sports Organisation which runs the race in Soissons (NE of Paris) has sent me some details of the race and the complete starting list. The race requires riders to ride 12 laps of a 15.7 kms circuit (for 188.4 kms) with one major difficulty - a 2 km long hill. The race begins at 13.00 in Soissons.Christelle tells me that Soissons (Department Aisne) is a city which is mad about cycling since the 1996 Tour de France went there for stage - Soissons-Lac de Madine. More than 60,000 persons applauded the yellow jersey, Frederic Moncassin (then GAN) and the eventual winner of the stage Cyril Saugrain (Big Mat-Auber 93). Soissons was also the main ville-etape of the 4 Jours de l'Aisne until 1996. On September 13, Soissons will also host (for the 3rd time) the start of the classic Paris-Brusselles, one of the oldest classics in cycling. The teams will have 5 and up to 8 riders.
