- Ticker LIVE here (auto-translated to English).

- The GP la Marseillaise (Grand Prix d'Ouverture La Marseillaise) is the traditional season opener in Europe.  This is also the first leg in the Coupe de France (French Cup) series.  Once again there is no live television coverage, even in France.  However, as in past years I will post video clips after the race.  I also expect to have photos.  Official website is here (also has info for this week's Etoile de Besseges which is also organized by the newspaper La Marseillaise).  The Etoile de Besseges will once again mark the start of my European season campaign on site shooting races.  -Pete  Start list here.

- The Grand Prix Cycliste la Marseillaise, the traditional road season opener in Europe, is today.  Coverage is limited, it is not live on TV, even in France.  But we should have some videos to post later. -Pete
