This one day race doesn't ever start in Paris (although I suppose it once did) but it always ends in Tours after 250 kilometers of racing. While the race is usually one for the sprinters, opportunists like these five can give it a go off the front. Stephane Poulhies rides for Armee de Terre, he is a member of the French Army whose job is to race his bike. He is still active duty and could have year ended should he get sent to a war zone (not that a full sprint isn't oft consider a war). Joining Poulhies is Romain Combaud (Delko Marseille Provence), Brian Van Goethem (Roompot Nederlandse Loterij), Lawrence Naesen (WB Veranclassic) and Michael Goolaerts (Veranda's Williems).
