The team which arrived a week ago, headed by their chef de equipe Jean Louis Leclerc, consists of six riders. The team is presently training hard in the Zallaq area ahead of this prestigious event. "We started preparations for this championship very late due to a problem with our federation which could not support us financially much earlier," said Leclerc. But the team were fortunate to get the required support from the Sport Ministry in France. "We are very grateful to the Ministry of Sport. They gave us what we needed which was quite costly," he said. <http://www.gulf-daily-news.com/Story.asp?Article=129515&Sn=SPOR&IssueID=28266>[More ...] -- Posted by Ridecamp to <http://www.endurance.net/channels/2005/12/french-riders-optimistic.html>Endurance Riding: News at 12/11/2005 04:06:42 PM =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net.
