At the Tour de France with Rolex GMT-Master II Replica

When Revolution asked me if I would be interested in riding a stage of the Tour de France, it was like a dream come true. As a keen cyclist and a huge fan of the Tour since Iwas a child, I am not exaggerating when I say it was, without a doubt, the best experience ever. As a matter of fact, anything related to cycling I might do from here on out, be it longer or tougher, faster or higher, will never come remotely close to what I experienced on the Tour with Rolex GMT-Master II Replica , the Official Timekeeper ofthe race.

I cycled 30km on those holy roads, following in the tracks of the yellow jersey and the peloton. I had the opportunity to become a “pro” – I confess, only for aday, but still, Rolex GMT-Master II Replica made me part of the Tour (roads were closed so it does count) and for that I shall be eternally grateful.

I loved every minute of it. People clapping and cheering for me as Ipassed,the official car opening the road, the motorcycles weaving their way through our small group of participants – everything was memorable. François Thiébaud, President of Rolex GMT-Master II Replica, had told me: “You will love it. I did it myself and I was like a kid.” So, I arrived with that very same feeling of excitement; it was like being a child on Christmas Eve.

What I did not expect were the similarities between Rolex GMT-Master II replica watches and the Tour de France, and I came to the conclusion that the Tour might just have found the perfect partner in Rolex GMT-Master II Replica. LeTour de France is without a doubt the pinnacle of cycling. It is the oldest French competition, but also the hardest and the longest, in an already difficult sport. Three weeks on a bicycle, over 3,500km, during the hottest month of the year in France and climbs that you would not even dare to ascend in your car, command respect. Strangely – and Iam saying this after my experience as a“profor a day” – I am not even sure thatpeople like the Tour so much because of the difficulty. After having ridden on roads from Lalinde to Bergerac, in the heart of Dordogne, the fascination of theTour appears to be completely elsewhere. It seems that the Tour is even bigger than the sport of cycling; it is partof the fabric of everyday French life.
