A means of transport can hide another. It must be said that we have the meaning of the formula on the side of the Reims stadium. In anticipation of the Cup final, which will take place at the Stade de France on May 24 between the Champagne club and PSG, Samba Diawara, the Rémois coach, said that he wanted to “pose the tram” in front of the goal of his team. Jean-Pierre Caillot, its president, prefers two-wheelers. And without engine.
The 63-year-old carrier intends to go to Seine-Saint-Denis for the big evening. “I intend to do so,” he said on the antenna by Champagne-Ardenne (ex-France Bleu). For years, to challenge me, I have explained to all my friends that I will go to the Stade de France by bicycle. So, I don’t tell you about the number of people who sent me a message! Not only will I go there, but I think we are going to organize a peloton. »»
165 km to hold
It has been 48 years since the Champagne club (double winner in 1950 and 1958) did not reach the final of the National Cup. It is therefore an opportunity to mark the occasion: “I thought of the Rémois, adds Jean-Pierre Caillot. I thought of this dream, I thought of those who are no longer there today. It is a pride that our club, which has experienced difficult times, finds itself at the Stade de France and made a final. »»
To win your bet, it will take this little world to travel 165 km, almost the equivalent of the 10th stage of the next Tour de France. Except that the latter, which will take place between Ennezat and the Mont-Dore Puy de Sancy, will have several passes to his bow. Fortunately for Jean-Pierre Caillot, it is much flatte to reach Champagne and the Paris region.
