Etoile de Bessèges

Crosswinds in Bessèges

The crosswinds were present in the opening stage of the Etoile de Bessèges (2.1, 2-6/02) this Wednesday around Bellegarde. A twenty rider group took advantage of the strong winds and managed to escape from the peloton with 70 kilometer to go. These men stayed ahead until the finish on the Côte de la Tour (0,6km at 6,4%) and it was Mads Pedersen who crossed the line first. Belgian rider Green Thijssen finished in the first chasing group and his compatriot Aimé De Gendt and German rider Georg Zimmermann crashed, luckily without harm.

Our Partners

Want You Club

Created in 2013 with an innovative concept, the Want You Club (WYC) is the business club bringing together partners of Intermarché-Circus-Wanty. Currently presided by Dimitri Bauters, its purpose is to offer the sponsors of the team the opportunity to meet, get to know each other, develop relationships and business together.

The Club meets at least 6 times a year, often before the biggest cycling events of the year (a.e. Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Belgian Championship, Binche-Chimay-Binche) to introduce their business and share company news. Currently, more than 85 companies support us.

Our business club is one of the first of its kind in cycling and we are always looking for opportunities to grow bigger and expand our memberships.
If you are interested to support our cycling team and become member of the business club, don’t hesitate to contact us.

We hope to welcome you soon!
