Tessa Worley
: When I was younger, I was lucky that my resort, Le Grand Bornand, often hosted the Tour de France, either as a stage town, or as a start or finish town.
I lived in the climb of the Col de la Colombière.
I just had to leave my house to watch the peloton go by when I was about ten years old.
I remember picking up a runner's water bottle in addition to the goodies caught with the trailer.
What was your first big emotion on the Tour de France
Of course, it's Julian Alaphilippe's victory at Le Grand Bornand in 2018. I was lucky enough to be able to stand on the podium and congratulate him.
It was a great moment even if we hadn't had time to talk too much.
And then, being at the heart of the Tour de France protocol that we saw and saw again on TV, it's a great experience.
What was your biggest disappointment on the Tour de France?
I remember this casting on the Tour de France in 2019 in the Tignes stage.
I was super disappointed in front of my TV and so sad for the runners.
It must be super hard to manage when you're a runner.

What is the object of the Tour de France that you have kept?
There was this famous can but believe that I no longer have it.
I just remember that he was an FDJ runner.
And there, I was offered a jersey from the B&B Hotels team with whom we have a common sponsor.
I would have liked to put it on but it might be a little big for me...

DR
Tessa Worley on a bike, is she more of a sprinter, climber or roller?
Not a climber!
More like a sprinter because I'm used to doing short and rather intense efforts based on power.
I cycle a lot because it allows me to take care of my knees and from home, I can go on great outings.
Lately, I've been more into mountain biking than road biking.

If I offered you the opportunity to have dinner with a runner of your choice, past or present?
I don't really know the riders from the past so I would invite Thomas Voeckler, who is very friendly.
I would also like to have Thibaut Pinot and Pierre Rolland at my table, whom I met this year on the Tour de France!
