Definitely an unlucky awakening for the Cofidis Team: on one side the rain, on the other the discovery that the team bus, parked about 150 meters from the team's hotel, was targeted by thieves.

Distracting the security personnel, the criminals quickly stole 11 Look bicycles, each valued at 13,000 euros. Fortunately, the team is headquartered in northern France and within a few hours, they proceeded to replace the bicycles.

While the mechanics were preparing the new bikes, the team managers filed the standard reports with the Gendarmerie, and naturally, the French postal police were the first to take action and will monitor the internet where stolen bikes are almost always put up for sale.
