Old acquaintance of Christian Prudhomme, the director of the event, Laurent Gerra rarely misses the Tour de France when he crosses the Alps. A great fan of the Grande Boucle, the comedian and humorist was present at Friday’s departure village in Châtillon-sur-Chalaronne to follow the 13th day of racing in Ain with the climb to the Grand Colombier. He gladly lent himself to the game of questions and answers with our text interview via smartphone on the Tour de France.
