Il y a toujours eu une relation privilégiée entre les cyclistes et le département du Tarn, on peut se rappeler l'épisode du cheval en 1997, une image utilisée par le conseil général pour la promotion de notre département. Et demain des cyclistes vont revenir à lisle sur Tarn, alors on ne sait jamais !! attachez vos équidés, à moins qu'un arts'scenics vienne perturber un rond point....Voici donc en PJ, la photo de "Djindor Rochelais" cheval de concours de saut d'obstacles qui lors du passage du peloton du Criterium International de la route en 1997 eut la bonne idée de se retrouver au milieu des cyclistes. Il a fait une partie de la route avec les vélos, il n'y eut qu'une seule photo, en effet tous les journalistes se trouvaient derrière lui. Heureusement une personne était là et pris cette photo. Comme on peut voir il y eut un cycliste qui doubla le cheval, Thierry Bourguignon. Cette séquence a fait le tour du monde et se retrouva même dans le film "Amelie Poulain". Je mets aussi en lien la video de cette séquence qui fait un "tabac sur la toile internet. Bonne utilisation.

The Critérium International was a two-day cycling competition held annually in the spring in France from 1932 to 2016. Previously, it was known as the Critérium National de la Route, debuting in 1932. For many years, it served as a kind of French national championship, and it wasn’t until 1979 that it was opened to cyclists of other nationalities.

Bernard Hinault is the only cyclist to win in both versions of the race, in 1978 and 1981. The race was won by some of the most renowned cyclists in the world, including Jacques Anquetil, Sean Kelly, Bernard Hinault, Miguel Induráin, Stephen Roche, Joop Zoetemelk, Laurent Fignon, Jens Voigt, Cadel Evans, and Chris Froome.

Horse invades the track in 1997.

In 1997, during the 2nd stage of the race, a horse jumped a fence and joined the group of cyclists, managing to overtake them, leaving the race just 20 km from the finish. This sequence was quickly featured in the movie “Amélie” and is often mistaken as a scene in the Tour de France. This stage was ultimately won by the Spanish rider Marcelino Garcia, who beat Laurent Jalabert in the sprint. Frenchman Pascal Lino finished third.
