2015 Criterium de Lacq-Audejos

The 2015 Criterium de Lacq-Audejos is one of the post Tour de France criteriums which take place all over Europe in the weeks after Le Tour has ended. Usually there are 30 riders, half of whom will have ridden that years Tour and half who are local club riders. The pros will receive an appearance fee and there is no prize money. Rumour is that the top rider like Chris Froome would receive €12000 for the evening. Riders complete 50 laps of a 1.5km circuit so they pass every couple of minutes. A great evenings entertainment and always popular with our guests in Pyrenées Cycling Lodge. Lacq sits on top of France’s largest gas field. The race is paid for by Total who operate the field.

The race was won by Romain Bardet with Christopher Froome second and Stephen Cummings in third place.

Roche – Froome – Barguil. It is traditional for a rider who won a jersey in Le Tour to wear it in the criteriums.
