'98 Tour Diary

'98 Tour de France Official Page Prologue, Stage 1 & 2: I have not seen the results as of yet ,........ but I know that I was 27 seconds off Chris Boardman's time in 5.6 kms!!! ..Chris clocked 6:12 and I was 6:39 ish .. I have not had a chance to see the official results. (87th) My average was over 50kph and Chris 54kph!!..... For years while climbing the cycling ladder even 50kph was a lofty goal, now , well now ,,...... there is still room to grow???? Whew!! If you are at all curious...... go out and try to get your bike going 54kph.... then think about 5.6k and even longer time trials which will have impressive times etc.... Pondering this , "reality"......... was felt a different way for myself during the prologue.... after 1-2kms a wondering thought came to me .... a message really.... " you are in the TDF prologue........( shock), you need to push harder" , I was having a hard time getting the body up to speed.... many signals were telling me I was not going very fast ...... my result is my result, and prologues are not really my thing. I have over 3-weeks and 2,400 kms to find my legs... If I lost 27 seconds , I could gain or loose 27 minutes in any given stage...... the prologue is only the start of a very long race.... Ireland... Dublin, a busy city, lots of traffic which we have been training through. I have seen many interesting buildings/ architecture..... and great facades to pubs and cafes.... made of hardwoods or painted in rich colors. Guiness must be a drink of choice.............. my college year -senses twinged.. We did a 3-hour training ride on Friday (the day we arrived) In pursuit of Wicklow gap , we opted for a loop which took us up to wide open grasslands , in what seemed to be nowhere...... scattered mountain sheep-goats were everywhere, nothing else. We did not see Wicklow gap, but is it is anything like what we saw, Wicklow could be dangerous... --------- Stage One...... we started out very civil... cruising really,,,, for the first bonus sprint though we made it up to speed...... very very fast! I was hanging on to the wheel in front of me, kinda of in a blurry dusty void........... then that was it , back down to a normal pace ..... the day was quite routine, a break got away, initiated by Jacky Durand.. so going over Wicklow Gap ( in a headwind) was not too difficult...... with 30k,ms to go we were back up to 60 plus kmh....8kms from the finish there was a crash..... I rode by Chippo on the ground with his Saeco teammates.. He would loose over 3-minutes.... Tom Steels won the sprint..... slightly uphill and into a head wind...... sounds like Zabel went a bit early.... Eric Zabel is in Yellow and Chris Boardman has abandoned..! The race is a bit nervous but I believe that the last few crashes have been due to the strong winds. Today in the Second road stage there were a few crashes...... a rider hitting a spectator who wanted a closer view!! Then the crash with Chris Boardman, I rode by almost letting the race go up the road without me, Chris was motionless with his head and shoulders wedged up to a wall ...... I was saying to myself " move Chris ! move Chris" and at the last moment as I passed I saw or believed I saw his arm move. I raced to catch the speeding peloton, knowing that Chris was knocked unconscious, but believing that I did see him move. .. a good sign...... Later there was confirmation that he was conscious but being taken to the hospital.... along with other riders??? Many close calls, and then again in the final 15kms..... Frankie Andreau, my teammate was on the plane asking Jan Svorda who was also next to us " was that not you under me in the crash 15 kms from the finish" Jan replied " Yes" ...Jan won the stage..... Two for Mapei.. Transfer.... can you believe...... showers 1k from the finish ....... on a bus within 45 min... police escort to the planes on the runway, ... bypass any check-in or passport control.... the Tour de France is coming through. Flight of 1+ hrs.. land in Breast (from Cork Ireland) then back onto a bus and drive 45min more to our hotel arriving at 9:00 ,,,, all this after a 205km stage.... I am only writing this now because I have some nervous energy left,,,,, but I am fading... Chow.. Marty Stage 3: Yesterday while taking JC Robin to the front of the peloton, he in my slipstream, Alonso from Banesto barked and had some apparent words for me in Spanish, which I could not understand. I had pushed my in the wind around the nose of the peloton.... Alonso was there keeping one of his teammates in the front. My actions would force him behind myself and JC. Alonso barked, and I barked back and challenged him to a duel so to speak... all this at race speed and with dangerous crosswinds, we have already had many crashes..... That was it, but I would keep my eye out for Alonso.... Well , today Alonso found me in the peloton and offered his hand..(handshake).... a show of friendship I guess..... Point is though, the tension is very high...... Yesterday we witnessed Chris Boardman abandoning due to a broken wrist,,, stitches in head all after being knocked unconscious from a crash that started--- going what ? 50-60kph! All day long there are close calls..... Zabel hit something in the road and was on his way down just in front of me, but he pulled it off.... the repercussions were that I had guys to my right and left touching bars..... Do not have a moment of shock , that would mean your pulse would go up along with breathing....... a waste of energy...... So the reaction is more like aaahh look at Zabel hum ... we might crash here..... No,,, OK .... lets keep going...... Later I saw Tour favorite Jan Ulrich in a similar situation.... full weight leaning over on to another rider...... time, time, time, time.... and they are up...... cool . Later again,,,,, BOOM dominos... Full slide , look for the gap.... and I am through!!! Bastillion Day...... I think that is how they spell the French National holiday...... and also the first stage back in France.. Today that is.... Fireworks in the race....... nearly 50kph ave!! in hilly rolling , never flat Brittany France. Attack, Attack , Attack ,( I was in a short lived break! after all I did spend 2-years racing in this area... motivation to show myself..... caught that bug from the French..... it did though act as a pick for George...) and then 9 riders are away....... from there it was a drag race..... UNREAL FAST 169KMS IN 3:35 . We had George in the Break! they finished 1:20 ahead of the peloton........ Bo Hamburger takes yellow and George Hincapie, my teammate is in second, 2 seconds down ,,,,,, we will do everything possible to get him up in the front for the bonus sprints..... sprints for seconds...... George , could be in Yellow!!!!???? that would be when I go to work at 100% efforts at the front , to defend... burning matches etc. Tired-----its Late, Chow, Marty Stage 4: Today was the longest day in the tour....252kms!!! The course itself was not that difficult, but the distance and speed makes it another "day" in the Tour de France.."hard always" Going into the stage George was 2 seconds away from getting the yellow jersey.... there were 3 sprints along the course where bonus seconds are given.... Our tactic was to lead out George for the first bonus.... to go 100% We had to be the first team to start the sprint to show that we meant business. We started form approx 4kms away,.... a single file line, we would go as fast as could. I was on Eki's wheel and he took over with less than 1k to go. Over my right shoulder I could see the Gan train approaching...... I yelled to Eki..... to GO!!!!!!! he picked it up and I came around him for the final pull..... Gan was passing on the right ,,,, just when I was expended George called out to me,.... he needed to get by me on the right. George was on Stuart O'Grady's wheel when they went by I thought it was a perfect position but Stuart powered to line.... becoming the leader on the road. Stuart would add seconds to his margin in the next sprint as well... At the end of the day he was awarded the Yellow jersey! What else..... it was just crazy fast in the last 30kms , cross winds and a crash in the final. Fifth Stage......228kms.. Today started with light rains; at first I thought the wind would be dangerous, but it was not too bad. I was in short lived break, with A. Tafi , P. Gammont and some other rider...... we were in pursuit of a Rabobank rider who was solo up the road...... Equipe Gan did not like this and had to have put in a hellish pace to catch us , because the 4 of us were going very strong... Shortly thereafter, 2-riders slipped away to join the one...... they would together amass 3-4minutes..... Gan drove the train all day..... for the next 100k (approx) . An uncomfortable pace in the rear...... fighting in the wind etc etc. In the final 20-30kms Saeco picked up the pace to set up "Mario-y-O" ... it paid off , he won his first stage... (not particularly my favorite rider in the bunch )...... Other tidbits.... when the gap was over 2+ min and we were getting close 30k or so to go , US Postal was ready to give a hand to Gan.... to protect George's' 2nd place..... With 15k to go Bobby Julich let me know that JC Robin had flatted....... so I dropped to the back behind the peloton to aid Pascal and Tyler who were bringing him back...... from there the three of us worked up the side of the peloton guarding JC from the strong cross-wind... Stage Six.....204kms........... Rolling and hilly all day....... I like courses like this..... they motivate me...... the flatlanders are at a disadvantage and the hills are too short for the climbers....... when the attacks started , I made it into 2-3 very short breaks.... the peloton was quick to react.... for each counter attack I would see either George, Frankie or Eki...... each of were looking for the right combination. Eventually 3-riders would get away...... while the peloton, rested, or rather (the teams were nervously waiting for the directors command as to who was to work... ) the break would reach a 4+ minute gap.... Eventually Saeco and TVM worked together. Gan was exhausted, Stuart's team had worked very hard yesterday.... today rather than killing the team they would pass responsibility to someone else. Other teams will work, because they may be interested in a stage win, hence Saeco and TVM at the front today.... in their wake , ready to work if the gap did not come down in time was are team US Postal and Mapei... as well as Casino.... This we found out because 20k from the finish 4-Postal riders went to the front to help..... Pascal , Eki, Darius and Marty (me) . along with us were leftover Saeco and 2-3 Mapei riders. We had picked up the pace now, then all of a sudden near the crest of a big rolling hill 5-Casino riders attacked!!!!!! BIG DANGER,....... EKI went in pursuit, he dangled for the longest time, almost not making it.... Of course US postal quit riding,,,, Eki would have a good chance of winning the stage if the peloton could not recapture this surprise attack.. Can you imagine the motivation in Casino , I was watching it.... I was thinking this could be by-by..... What a story it would make. Anyway Mapei was quick to react, as well as some other riders. There are too many riders who do not want to loose time this early in the race.. The day would end again in a field sprint... What I did not mention was that earlier in the day prior to the counter attacks, a large group escaped, there we saw 2-Spanish teams working together in the front to bring them back.., when they were caught the counter attacks started... After Saeco and TVM had been at the front ...... pushing two hours now. A couple of their riders were getting dropped to the hills. I love this sport at times and I like working hard.. On the decent these dropped riders would move up the sides of the peloton,, calling out "Service" ( the respected call), these men were on a mission. When I was blocking their path I quickly opened the door and let them by..... back to the front they would go.... ON A MISSION, working until ( as I know) their leg were absolutely spent. Each team in this moment bonding in a way and not willing to show any sign of weakness. Put 8-10 of these men in the front for nearly 2-hours, and that will be the locomotive of the day.... STAY OUT OF THEIR WAY they have a JOB to do... As for myself ..... I feel stronger this year..... I am looking for the right break,,,, etc . etc. Stage 8 58kms TT today!! Very hilly , up, down lots of turns and on rough pavement. In the first kilometer my aero handlebars came loose........ (one of the risks when receiving a new bike before the tour). In a way it may of helped.... to make up for it I knew I would have to ride harder, and I would, because I did not want to loose much time.. Being as technical as the course was my extra effort may have made up for the aero benefit. In the end my time was 1:20:20 which put me 48th in the time trial. But the day goes to my friend and teammate Tyler Hamilton..... the revelation of the tour. Tyler placed second to Jan Ulrich!!! 1:10 behind.... a fantastic ride... I am very happy for him. ---------- Stage 9 Yesterday was extremely HOT !!! 190kms........ rolling..... hilly, I think we did 4-catagorie 4 climbs. The rhythm , well there was none, it was very uncomfortable, riders were suffering. I dropped back to the cars 6-times to get water bottles. Each time I carry 6-7 bottles to my teammates. I consumed 16 bottles of water... I just could not get enough. 40 degrees Celsius! humid, two ,three days before we had light rains and it was chilly. What a change! Today was even hotter 42 degrees Celsius. An absolute heat wave... many riders are suffering. On one of my trips to the car for water, I found Tyler, I asked how he was and he gave my a sign ( finger into the throat) meaning that he had gone too deep , he was really suffering. I asked if he needed food or water. he said no, "I need a push" ( with 45kms to go!) So I pushed, and a few of us pushed him. On the downhills I took him to the front of the peloton, he would drift back on the hill, we did this more than once. Tyler was experiencing a severe heat stroke.. It was impossible to keep with the pace. I wanted to stay with him, I was waiting for our director to make the call..... somehow the decision was made itself. Tyler would have to make it on his own.... Ty would loose 18 minutes in the next 30-35 kms. I do not really like to describe someone else's struggles.... we all experience similar problems, Tyler is as strong as anyone I know, This is a clear result of the extreme heat that we have had to ride in. Tomorrow... the mountains , two Category 1 climbs and two more difficult " out of category climbs. Stage 10... I was better today than yesterday..... that is a good sign. Where do I start...... Yesterday it was 42 degrees Celsius and today we awoke to chilly weather and light rains. In the mountains we found it even colder. Descending the col d'Aubisque and especially the Tourmalet I had the chills and shivers. I crashed hard after our first climb (c d'A), and had difficulty making it to the bottom , because of fear, pain from my pelvis bone and cramping muscles. Through the valley I hooked up with M. Lelli and Bart Leysen, it took us approx. 20k to make it back to the peloton...... just before the feed. By this time the muscles in my hip had loosened and the pain subsided. I pulled the plug about 6-7k up the Tourmalet, to stay with the 60+ riders in front of me I would have to go too deep. I do want to test myself further but after the crash ; today was not the day. The Tour is too long, and I knew that many veterans had pulled the plug even earlier. Knowing when and when not to go too deep is important to finishing. My body was in a kind of shock today with the cold weather and the crash. My 19-rider group rode at a very rhythmic pace... I was able to eat and keep hydrated. I consumed "extra" and yet on the last climb I felt the knock, bonk, hunger flats coming on. I fished everything I had and luckily got a coke from a spectator. Maybe tomorrow I will try to climb with the groups that will be ahead. M. ! 17 riders abandoned!!!! I'm telling you it was harsh.... many crashes. 42-degree heat to freezing cold rain in the mountains. THE MOUNTAINS!!! all day , nearly 6-hours. 123MILES! 4-major mountain climbs, each up to 18kms long and very steep at times. C'est Le Tour !!! 11th stage.... Riders do talk with each other and today one of the lieutenants of the Telekom team asked what I thought about stopping at Fabio Casartelli Memorial (Fabio died in the tour two years ago). I told him that I was in favor...... this would mean that we would all stay together over the difficult Col de Ment'e. The Memorial was at around the 38km point, part way up the Portet-d'Aspet. By stopping , it would make for a less difficult day. I was in favor because my wounds from the day before were on my mind. If there was an attack on the first climb my hip muscles might have been too tight and sore to respond. We stopped for only 2-3 minutes and then resumed. Before finding our climbing rhythm a motorcycle with a photographer was trying to pass. By not being "patient" he crashed and brought down several riders... I stayed up but my rear wheel was knocked out of true. I replaced it near the top of the climb being the last rider over the top.... it was single file, someone had attacked.... I was the tail end of a whip that was being cracked... around every turn I was sprinting for the wheel in front of me... not a comfortable place to be. Up the Col de la Core..... starting at 65km and ending at 79km, I had my rhythm now but my replacement wheel was skipping gears. After several attempts I finally had it adjusted to where I could ride again..... Telekom was setting a stiff tempo; at least I knew there would not be a sudden acceleration while I adjusted my derailleur. On the col de Port the Peloton was already down to around 120 riders, after the Col (126k) we were down to something like 80 riders..... Both Tyler and I dropped back to the cars to get water through the valley. There must have been some threatening attacks up front because we almost did not make it back.---------- I offered Darius and JC water, then helped Darius hold position in the front going into the first km of the Plateau de Beille..... Jan Ulrich had a flat but regained very quickly...... the group was down to about 60 when I went into the red zone. Day Off-------yea .... 2hrs light training..... Stage 12... Today started with a protest by the riders ,lasting almost 2 hours.... we sat , had debates etc. We started to ride,... very easy, not knowing what to make of the day and then BAM .... the attacks came.... it was started by Once' Soon it was a break with both Jalaberts and Bart Voskamp, the trio would amass over 5-minutes with Telekom riding "all out in the front" It became the fastest stage I think I have ever ridden.... the last 125 Miles were covered in 4-hours.... at the finished we learned that the pace was 48.5kms/hr.... there is speculation that from the attacks on the average would have been 50kph.... " A day in the 11 boys" .. I think a lot of emotions and energy were released............ to say the least. Stage 13 YEA!!! I have meet one of my objectives in this years TDF! I wanted to be in a predominant break , to really show and see my strength. Today was the day. After 80kms or so I jumped on the wheels of 6-7 riders .... we then bridged to another group of 5. Our break would have 12 riders with just over 100kms to the finish. The group worked well together. Eating and Drinking was very important, it was very hot. Before the finish there were two climbs , one a small bump of 2-3kms, a decent and 5kms or so before a long Catagorie 2 climb...... Near the top of the "bump" there was a couple of attacks, not too serious I thought...... then going over the top Tafi attacked.....4 of us followed, the decent was dangerous, I felt I was taking risks in the turns to stay , but needed a good gap for us to stay away. Nardello would bridge by the bottom of the climb. Now we were 6 -riders..... on the flats now the pace was sooo fast , Tafi , Heulot, Garcia, Nardello , Koos H. I have a harder time on the flats.... Next was the long Cat 2 climb, I was expecting fierce attacks, but felt more confident, believing that I could stay in there . There were attacks but short lived and covered easily. Near the top Garcia and Tafi Lit it up again, this time, it was serious.... Heulot was in pursuit and I was glued to his wheel . In a right hand turn my wheels chattered, I was sprinting uphill holding on to Heulot's wheel. We all regrouped going over the top. We were together on the decent..... At one point though S. Heulot accelerated and went through the corners a bit too fast for me... he had a gap. I chased through the next few turns , actually putting a gap on the riders behind me.... together we would bring Heulot back. It was a flat 15kish ? to the finish with a bit of headwind.... Our once 5-minute gap was down to 3:20 Would Tafi attack for a solo??? I was ready for him , Nardello etc.... I felt good now,,,,, as the kms went by I felt even stronger. Watching the time gap come down, I did not think there would be an attack until the last 2-3 kms..... We would come down to a sprint.... 6-700meters from the finish we were lined up single file on the right side of the fence..... I was in the rear, my legs felt strong and snappy. I believe it was Heulot who started the sprint, from about 550meters out.... I moved past riders on the left with 400m or so to go .... I was quacked twice once someone bumped my bars another time my shoulder. I sprinted on the far left, Garcia who took 2nd was pushing me further to the left as I tried to move up on him.... In the end I was 5th...... but I know that I had the legs and without the bumps and quack my placing would have been even better.....I am happy though, I have reached one of my goals in the TDF..... Next is to make it to Paris higher in GC than last year 96th .... currently 57th... Also I will help Darius and JC into the top 10.... etc... Others too with stage wins.... I too will look for other break possibilities.... ---------- Stage 15 I'm really not into writing tonight, the tour is in its third week and I am getting tired. Everybody is getting tired. As much as I suffered today , I do think I will have a better day tomorrow.. Maybe it is a good sign that I am attempting an E-mail . There was a war going on in my head all day..... the first 20-30k went quite smooth , then on the Col de la Croix de Fer, the shit hit the fan! This is too early in the race for me , as I am always blocked in the first climbs... ( I think that's why I make a better Professional than Amateur..... I open up later in long races...) Anyway I was deep in the red on this climb.. 24.5kms at 5.1% ave. The peloton was being stretched sooooooo.... it was breaking into pieces and I was further back , behind my comfort range.... I fought hard to stay with a group ahead of me.... behind the Eros Poli bus was forming.. too early for me.... I fought for the group ahead..... I was dropped and yo-yoed several times.... I was dropped 2kms to the top and blew a gasket to bridge to the three cars that had fallen in behind the group.... Peter M in my wheel..... It was going to be an icy cold decent , because riders had to put on jackets.... gave me time to make connection. I managed to put my jacket on the decent...... taking risks to do so A fast and dangerous decent..... Ice cold rain.... we passed riders that had crashed... the going slowed due to poor visibility... I could not see more than 6-8 riders ahead, the fog was sooo thick. I was off the pace a bit, when I tried to bridge I found myself nearly out of control going into blind corners... you simply could not see far enough... Cars and motorcycles were pulled over everywhere with their lights on and honking.... trying to warn riders of the dangers... On the flats with. those around me ....we regained the first group.... Here at the feed zone....10kms to the next climb... 11.7kms 6.8%... another groupetto forms.... I'm feeling a bit better so continue with the first group ,,,, for 3-4kms only , then I find myself riding with 6-8riders... after a short decent we start the col du Galibier. 18.3kms at 6.8% Our group is now 15ish riders....ahead 1-2minutes we cold see the next group of 12ish riders.... at the top of the Galibier it was 4 degrees Celsius..... yesterday it was 40..... that's something like 100degrees one day and 40 the next .... icy cold rain.. The decent of the Galibier was on of my most miserable experiences.... I was completely numb... my hands were stumps.. my knees were aching, swollen, frozen.... it was a very long decent. It was soo miserable! I had difficulty shifting... by the next climb Peter M. and were laughing at each other, we could not shift into the small chainring... I had to use my right thumb as a hook.. Peter, Frankie and myself rode the last climb together.. defrosting on the way up... George H... thinks that with today's conditions.... we probably had similar experiences as those on Everest..... I think we could definitely share feelings with them...... It was extreme. STAGE 16 20kms before the first climb of the day Col de Porte...... After yesterday, you might think that we might make it to the climb sans attack...But NO! Immediately there was an attack..... single file 60+kph!!!! Mercatoni Uno at the front.. Luckily I was near the front. I had this idea that I wanted to see Pantani in Yellow before he took to the mountains, hence out of my view. We hit the base of col de Port A'block,( on the rivat) . I was chewing on lactate acid.... and spitting it out... It was too early to get shelled. Riders all around yo-yoed back and forth digging for power, trying to keep the chain in tact. An ugly site!. Somewhat under control M-Uno held a stiff pace..... The peloton was in more than one group.... I knew George was in the group behind, but within site,,,(more on that) . I dug hard to stay with the approx 60-80 riders.... like those around me. Life will be easier later if you can stay with the first group as long as possible. On the decent George passed me! that means his group bridged a 1-min deficit. Sick.. I am happy for George but to think of the extra matches I burnt to stay with the first group.... It could have been better to save them and ride aggressively on the decent..(risky sometimes) On the next three climbs I was in nearly the same position.... clearing the Col with the top 60-80 riders and each time in the valleys the group would swell to over 100... This is bad for moral... and each time you would have to fight in the group for position, as the weaker riders would get dropped. At the base of the col de la Madeleine I think there were at least 120 riders.... It exploded within 5kms..... Find your group..... I would ride up with Eki and 4-others until 5kms to go.... (had knee pain..... leg power loss etc) . I took it a bit easier , riding with Pascal Chaunter.... then we picked up Luc Leblanc..... who had blown a serious gasket.... Pascal offered food and drink.... with 2kms to the top we went a bit easier..... to keep Luc with us.... Honestly it was more of the right pace for us.... as you tend to push too hard, tapping into the red zone on and off. I finished around 60th today........ Stage 17 History in the making... Change.... Negotiations.. Communication. Law and Order. Emotions.. It is all taking place in the Tour de France!!! Peoples from many countries are very emotional and have strong opinions on many different issues. Part of the beauty of this sport is that we must all learn to (work-live?) together. One thing is for sure, I am happy to be a part of it! I remember my first stage races when I first came to Europe. Under different circumstances I remember having the same feelings.... I had left the happy USA and was now battling it out with Russian teams Spanish Teams , South Americans, all of Northern Europe etc etc.... I'm not really in the mood to make sense....I do feel that we need laws in our society and that there should be no interference with justice.. But at the same time Society "The People" have a right to be heard. People have rights. Whatever is the outcome of today's protest and the incidents plaguing the Tour, there will definitely be powerful results.. People are acting out and speaking their minds..... Change is on the Horizon. I will think more about what is happening, maybe then I will make more sense. For tomorrow , I am ready to race and it is my goal to make it to the Champs... Stage 19 242kms today... plus a 5km neutral. Long-long-long...46.8kph ave! the last climb of the tour was at km 218.... ouch! Yea! I felt good all day, right up until about 15kms to go , then I started to become very tired..... the legs were ok..... but the fatigue was setting into my head. After the stage we had to go to "Velo-Club" i.e. live French TV . I thought I was going to fall asleep with the cameras on me... Luckily the Hotel was only 1 km from the finish... Tomorrow is the Time-Trial... 50+kms..... to loose or gain 2-minutes would do nothing for my GC. Tomorrow I will start with no stress and just push my body up to threshold over time..... Riding without pressure often has better results..... If the engine is good I will put in a good time. Sunday----- Ride to Paris...... after a TGV train ride in the morning. Today is the first day that I can hardly hold my eyes open ( after stage ) My body will be tired after this race, I thank it though for being sooo strong throughout the TDF. Stage 20 52kms TT. Marty Jemison 34th, 6:45 (1:10:37) behind Jan Ullrich... at 1h03'52" (his ave 48.851) That's all I have to say..... Oh, Paris demain! M
