Ventoux Trial Classic 2018
Sunday 14 October
Sunday arrived, weather still nice, a bit windy and maybe rain in the evening. After 12 dabs yesterday, the plan was to improve today. Charles Coutard walked in front of me to pick up his moto at park fermé. Hopefully a good sign.

After refilling the moto and eating a banana, our last boucle was attacked. This was a physic one as the interzone had mostly big stones, shock body and moto, careful not getting a puncture.
