Euphoria, tears of emotion. Hugs. Shouting at the Grand Café de l’Industrie in Valence d’Agen, next to the Notre Dame church, under the plane trees.
– Yes, yes, yes, we are going to Paris!
More hugs. More screams.
– Did they say yes?
– They said no.
– Then?
God squeezes but does not suffocate and, just now that from above we are ordered to return home, the Grand Départ Pays Basque 2023 sends an expedition to Paris to pick up the baton from Copenhagen and return to Euskadi. A car, a van, a motorhome, two cyclists who will return by bike and a support group of nine people. It is a sign, we will arrive embedded in that team, like the star television journalists when the American army invades a country.

– Do you think it will be possible?
– Where eleven go, thirteen go. Besides, it all comes out of the same piggy bank, right? This is not coincidence, it is coordination. How well things are being done. Euskadi is going to offer an excellent image. This deserves a dedicated chapter in the report.
– ‘Euskadi advances and the 2023 Tour is already on the road before the end of 2022’. But what about cycling? Something will have to be put.
– That is the least. It is a poor man’s sport. This thing about going to Paris and returning by bike with the witness does sell.
“I had no idea there was a witness.

– Neither you nor anyone else, but that is fine-tuned by the communication, image, marketing and stuff departments. You will see how those of the expedition go out everywhere.
– You think?
– The modern world, kid. What do you think they will talk about, the Ordizia Classic?
– They should, 99 editions!!! A luxury for Basque cycling, a great luxury.
– Forget. Right now I’m sending a message to those in the motorhome. At six in the Burger King parking lot in Sainte Eulalie, just after Bordeaux, at the motorway entrance? Thanks for taking us out, fellas! (send)
– Yes, yes, yes, we are going to Paris!
