The Tour de France is known for being a roller coaster that lasts for three weeks, during which riders can experience great joy and terrible mishaps in a matter of hours. A few days after the victory of Anthony Turgis during the ninth stage, the TotalEnergies team experienced a different culture. On the night of Wednesday July 10 to Wednesday July 11, the French group stole a truck and eleven bikes and equipment, according to information from The team and RMC Sport, approved by the club, has been stolen.
According to two media, the cost of the damage is around 150,000 euros. “It’s part of the game, it’s annoying, but it doesn’t stop the runners. We have stock. It’s annoying even for toolboxes”explained Jean-René Bernaudeau, team manager, interviewed by RMC.
An alarm sounded the alarm, according to a tourist on the site, while the members had taken home for the night in a hotel in Lioran (Cantal) before leaving for the twelfth stage of the Grande Boucle, between Aurillac (Cantal) and Villeneuve -sur-Lotti (Lotti-et-Garonne). Uno-X Mobility and the Israeli Premier Tech group live in the same hotel, but their car was not visited by the thieves.
A lawsuit has been filed and the bikes will be brought back from Vendée, where the team’s headquarters are. This time, from this twelfth stage, some riders will have to do with their spare parts, like the French Anthony Turgis, third in the ranking of the best sprinters.
