Bressuire: a former "Yellow Jersey" throws the hammer

imagesLaurent JALABERT is quite a star in the cycling world.

At 46,the former "Yellow Jersey" of the Tour de France is still one of the most popular French champions of the last 25 years.

Last Saturday, he came to Bressuire for "Sports and Businesses", a promotional campaign where the Highland Games were associated.

Of course, he answered brilliantly the blogger's loony questions and then he accepted to throw the hammer.

IMG_3912After listening to the local Bockers' advice, he managed to throw the light hammer and proved that he had all the qualities for this sport.

Cycling, marathon, Ironman

This former champion really knows what sport is about.

After his cycling career, he decided to become a marathon runner and he ran the 42 kms in less than three hours.

Then he tried his skills in a new sport: triathlon.

And you know what?

JALABERT finished the Hawaï Ironman in just a little more than 9 hours.

No wonder his hammer-throw in Bressuire was so spectacular!

Thanks for the show!
