Who are we ?
The team behind the Tourmagne Challenge
The Tourmagne Challenge,
who are we ?
It is, above all, a dream of enthusiasts.
Following the discovery of the story of the pioneers Léon Giran-Max and Marie-Antoine Barret by Patrice Brunet, former CEO of Zéfal, the magic was sparked, and the idea of the challenge was born.
We then decided to create a non-profit association to bring this incredible gravel crossing of France to life.
