D13 Event @ Tambov
- The finishing line to Togliatti is coming closer and we’re starting a section composed of motorways only which makes our progress quite difficult. We end up thinking that the only pleasure we take running on those roads is that they’re between Paris and Togliatti – meaning that running by night on motorways is clearly not fun…
- Jean Francois made an impressive stage today with 20 kilometers covered to the relay point.
- We also attended a dealer event at a Lada dealership in Tambov. It started with the relay between team 1 and team 2 in front of a few cameras. We responded to a few questions from the press. We met with engineering students from the city that where invited from the dealer for an open discussion about various topics. We were offered some gifts and the atmosphere was nice…
- We then made our way to the next city by car and we realized how difficult today’s stage would be for all the teams: motorways with a lot of traffic and no room to run on the side of the road.
- Last quick word about a topic that is becoming consistent for us: we will be sleeping in an hotel that reminds us from our trip to Belarus.
