Franck Vermeulen veranda rideau u second in etoile de besseges

Half of yesterday's stage was cancelled. So we had onle 60kms of race. The reason was the snow and it was quite dangerous. Today I felt quite well. I tried to be in the first breakaway but without any luck. Our teammate Franck Vermeulen veranda rideau u who is 36 years old and for all his life has been an amateur cyclist showed that you should never give up. He was second today. He was the strongest guy in the breakaway and lost the stage only with Pierre Roland.
