LOOK is partner of “Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque”, a charity which raises funds to help children with cardiac problems get proper treatment. Every year, one stage of the Tour de France is dedicated to this charity where celebrities ride on LOOK bikes. What is the name of this stage?

 

  La Route du Coeur (the Heart’s Road)

  L’Etape du Coeur (The Heart’s stage)

  Le Tour du Coeur (The Heart’s Tour)

  La Boucle du Cœur (The Heart’s Round)

L’Etape du Coeur (The Heart’s stage)

 

 

"ince 2003, Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque organizes “L’étape du Coeur”, on the Tour du France : around 20 personalities ride a time trial stage. This year, the stage will be on the 24th of July, from Bordeaux to Pauillac."

There are 3 debatable options for 10th place:

 

10 Chinese Track Team - (its a world team right?)

10.1 Team Tibco (International Ladies team)

10.2 BigMat Auber 93 (they are essentially a club but have participated in the TdF 5 times)

 

I choose 10

I'm going with 9. Cofidis is not recognised as a World Tour team. According to UCI regulations Pro Continental teams are invited to events at the discression of the organisers.

If you look at that list ... you will also see Topsport Vlaanderen - also on Look Pedals and on Looks website.

 

Cofidis is probably Look's biggest ambassador with their Look bikes and pedals, Im counting them for sure.

 

 

 

Lost in French translation ... what does "World Tour Team" mean in normal English by the way?

Today's question.

What is the weight of the ZED 2 carbon single-piece crankset (one piece integrated crank arms and spindle)

 

  320 gr

  330 gr

  340 gr

  350 gr

The New LOOK ZED 2 crankset was developed to be as light and rigid as possible. The ZED 2 weighs only 320 grams (one piece integrated crank arms and spindle), which makes it the lightest crankset currently on the market, with the highest stiffness to weight ratio amongst the competition. The stiffness of the ZED 2 crankset is excellent. The weight/stiffness ratio is far superior than any crankset on the market.

I love that crank, with 110 and 130mm BCD all-in-one, plus you can adjust the length quite easily. Just a shame the dont go to 177.5mm

 

177.5? Where does your legs end ,under your armpits. Lol.
