Alex Baudin : “Since my five years, when I started cycling, I have been looking at the tour every year. Most of the time, the tour passed near my home, in the Alps, and we went there as soon as you could see the runners. It is the biggest race in the world. In France, we are talking about the Football World Cup, the Olympic Games, then the Tour de France. Everyone looks at the Tour de France in summer. As soon as you tell someone you are a cyclist, you are asked if you go around. Now I will be able to say yes, and it really feels good. It's my dream since I was very small, so it's really special.
My friends and family are even more impatient than me. I focused on the race and my preparation. I really want to be at the top of my form. This course started a long time ago, when I wanted to become a pro. Running the tour is one of the key steps in a career. First, we take a big tour, then we run the Tour de France. This is my third year as a professional and I am ready. My next goal and my next dream is to win a stage. There are always surprises on the Tour and you never know what will happen.”
