[Le Tour de L'Ariège 1958]

The filmmaker follows the various stages of the cycling competition in the department of Ariege called Coupe Martini (Martini Cup). Aboard a car during the race through the landscapes of Ariege or on foot while covering the arrivals in town centres, he gives us a historical testimony of this now defunct race, filmed from the inside. You can see the different teams evolve over the Tour as well as personalities like George Gay, Barthelemy Risso or Louis Kosec, particularly during the jersey ceremonies.
