VIDEO: Benoît Cosnefroy goes crazy with roaring crowds at Col de Joux Plane

The crowds at the Col de Joux Plane at the Tour de France this Saturday were insane. So much so that it even interfered in the race as the summit of the climb didn't have enough space for riders and motorbikes and riders to move freely. However this also brought a special moment to the race as Benoît Cosnefroy took the occasion to celebrate.
In his Twitter account he said that his brother was present in the crowds, and close to the summit of the climb the AG2R Citroën Team rider stopped on the road, chugged a beer and for a minute stayed celebrating and jumping with the fans in a spectacle that sums up very well the essence of the Tour de France.

- Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024

- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
