🚨 La fin du Tour de Normandie ! Quelques mois après une 40ème édition couronnée de succès, les organisateurs, bénévoles, ont dû sur résoudre à mettre la clef sous la porte face à un évènement devenu trop lourd à organiser. #Cyclisme #Vélo #FBsport l.francebleu.fr/WbM8
After it's first edition in 1981, the Tour de Normandie will go no longer - at least for the time being - as the race organizers confirmed they won't be organizing the event for the coming years.
The race organizers are looking to write a new page for the race, as they have quoted the lack of reward and recognition from the communities and the media for a race that is largely put together by volunteers.
“If we abused cycling metaphors, we could say that the team has remained united at each stage but cannot reach the next stage for lack of human resources. We have to give up. There, in the midst of the encouragement of the public, the caravan, loyal partners and communities, everything must stop," Arnaud Anquetil - president of the organizing committee - said.
Anquetil also said that it is ten months of work to put the race together, one of the French domestic calendar's most known stage-races. Over the last few years the race has become mostly part of the calendar from French continental teams aswell as under-23 teams, and it was won this year by Mathis Le Berre who is already signed for Arkéa Samsic in the coming two seasons.
