Mavic Wheels

“The next year, he showed up with a little yellow car he’d made for us. We were really touched – you could see he’d spent a lot of time on it, that he hadn’t forgotten what we did. ”

"I remember a little boy on the Roc d’Azur race. He was about seven or eight, and he was in floods of tears because he’d broken a wheel on his mountain bike and didn’t think he’d be able to start the race. We changed his wheel so he could take part and he stopped crying.

The next morning, he came back to show us the cup he won, and a drawing he’d done for us to say thank you.

The next year, he showed up with a little yellow car he’d made for us. We were really touched – you could see he’d spent a lot of time on it, that he hadn’t forgotten what we did.

And now, every year, he comes to say hi to us before the race.”
