Spectrum: Tour du Faso: The stage race as a movie

20 May 2014 by the editorial office

Cycling in Africa is different. And it's something special. This is the case with the Tropicale Amissa Bongo in Gabon, but also with the Tour du Faso. Every year, this leads an illustrious field of local stars and cycling adventurers through the country.

More than 1000 kilometers have to be covered. The cinema film by Wilm Huygen, which premieres on May 29, reports on the stories that this race writes and what makes it a special experience.



If you don't want to wait until then, we have a few impressions for you here.
