Here you have one of France Iron Tour stages that was broadcast live on national television. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTjJzceKd3I
And I was in front of my TV! What a blast! It was the first time I saw triathlon on TV, and I think it was the first time that a triathlon race was broadcasted live on french TV. I was 20, already interested in tri but not involved, and this broadcast triggered my first signup!
Thank you Simon for your charisma, you made me discover my biggest passion for the sport.
And by the way, I can't remember if Chris McCormack took part in any of these races. But if it has been the case, he might have been inspired by the jersey system at play in France Iron Tour before implementing it for the Super League. Oh my, that silver jersey you had! ;-)
