The program brought us here, where we enjoy participating in this game on the Noveltex exhibition “. According to Marie-Chantal, arriving from Creuse, “ the exhibition is very cool, it’s crazy, what we did at the time for a bike race “. Manon, due to her young age, was surprised by what served as a helmet at the time of the Grand Prix. A very meager protection it must be said.
