  • La Solitaire du Figaro 2005

    The 36th Solitaire Afflelou Le Figaro honors Jérémie Beyou, Michel Desjoyeaux and Kito de Pavant. The stubborn Jérémie Beyou propels himself into the light of the greats. Gildas Morvan, Pietro D’Ali, Laurent Pellecuer, stage winners and all one-time leaders, also made their mark on this windy edition. Eole has not left the fleet to set a sustained pace from the English Channel to the Bay of Biscay via the Celtic Sea.

    1st: Jérémie BEYOU

    2nd: Michel DESJOYEAUX

    3rd: Kito de PAVANT
