3 Days of Competition in the Pyrenees
Toray Carbon Fibers Europe is proud to support the Third Edition of the women’s cycling race, the Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées (TFIP), which will take place from 14th to 16th June 2024 in the Pyrenees.
Three challenging stages are scheduled in the heart of the Pyrenees including the legendary Col d’Aubisque, a regular favourite of the Tour de France.
- Stage 1: Goudon – Lourdes (129 Km)
- Stage 2: Pierrefitte-Nestalas – Aubisque (96 Km)
- Stage 3: Nay – Bosdarros (126 Km)
As the Director of the Tour Féminin International des Pyrénée0, Elisabeth Chevanne, explains:
„These three stages are also an excellent preparation for the upcoming cycling events such as the French championships, the Women’s Giro in Italy at the beginning of July and the Women’s Tour de France in mid-August“.
20 teams will participate in the race.
Toray Carbon Fibers Europe chose to sponsor this edition of the Tour Féminin International des Pyrénées as it is a international sporting event close to our production sites located at the foot of the Pyrenees. For our company, women’s cycling and women’s sport in general must be promoted and supported more widely. This is in accordance with our values and those of the Toray Group.
Sport and Carbon Fiber
Sports and leisure activities very quickly realised the potential of carbon fiber: lightness and strength. Today, fishing rods, skis, tennis rackets, canoes, etc. as well bicycles use this premium material. Whether an amateur or World Tour cyclist, all recognise the performance of carbon fiber which is found everywhere on a bicycle (wheels, frames, pedals). Toray Carbon Fibers Europe is very proud that our ToraycaTM carbon fibers have won the Tour de France several times.
We would like to wish every success for this 2024 TFIP race.
Nous souhaitons à cette édition 2024 du TFIP un franc succès. Have a great race!
