[RC] France: La Baule Starters List - John Teeter

The starters list for the 2004 LaBaule CEIO*** event provides an opportunity to review the endurance teams from 5 countries as well as the depth of the endurance community in France. There will be 47 starters from 8 countries. We will see the teams from Belgium, France, Italy, Portugal, and the UAE compete for team honors.

This event is a very important step on the way to the 2004 WEC for all the teams and individuals participating. Add to this the US competition at Biltmore with the US team, Santa Catarina in Brazil, Dronninglund in Denmark, La Paloma in Argentina and the full perspective of international endurance begins to come into focus. Broaden again to the full month of May and you will see endurance around the world sharpening our collective view toward the 2004 WEC.

As an aside, the La Baule event is also a part of the honeymoon for the newly betrothed His Highness Shiekh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum and Her Royal Highness Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein of the United Arab Emirates and Jordan respectively. Competing in a 160km endurance race on the Brittany coast of France during one's honeymoon is certainly one of the marks of enthusiastic endurance family (I think only the UAE is fielding 4 family members in 100 mile rides this season though there must be others??)

Anyway, it's a busy week-end coming up.

It is how we "feel" deep inside that matters, cause each of us knows the
truth, regardless of how we try make it complicated.  It just isn't.
