In my tomorrow's edition (23rd Sep) at 07:00 AM (CET) you'll find one pro team looking for an amateur rider, all expenses paid !!

Don't get your hopes up, there are a lot of candidates, and though their rules don't mention it, I'd say at the very least you'll need to speak French, and probably need to live in France.

But it's the opportunity of a life-time !!

Tune in tomorrow morning Paris time.....
