The Transju'Cyclo is an extension of all the promotion that we build with the national level cycling events. The Jura is a land of cycling.
Mr. Mayor of Champagnole, Guy Saillard: "We are happy to welcome La Transju'Cyclo once again, we are used to hosting cycling events in Champagnole. With more than 1 participants, that's a lot of people who come to discover our beautiful department. The Jura is a land of cycling, it's a land of play and it's true that with global warming, focusing on spring, summer and autumn activities in the Jura is the time to think about it."
Pierre-Albert Vandel, President of Trans'Organisation : " There are many positive points: we had good weather, many participants since we were forced to limit a little and everything went well in terms of safety. We are laying good foundations to be able to progress in the years to come, we have some problems to solve to improve next year and welcome even more competitors.
