Cyclists make massive use of campers!

Cyclists love campers

With the start of the Vuelta two weeks ago, the last cycling round of the year also started. On the side of the road you will find thousands of supporters encouraging their favorites in every round. Many of these supporters camp in campers or caravans.

Camping cycling fans

Our southern neighbors know how it goes! Every year during Flanders' finest, many Belgians encourage their riders. They often camp for days before the actual Tour of Flanders starts, in a tent, camper or caravan. But of course the Dutch are also fond of cycling. Visiting the Tour de France is fine from a campsite in the area, where you can find socializing among the other cycling fans or, on the contrary, camp comfortably in your own camper while enjoying a French wine.

Camper is a stopover in Tour de France

Tom Dumoulin and Peter Sagen, two of the great heroes of the Tour, were happy that there were so many supporters with campers along the route. During the eighth stage of the Tour de France, Dumoulin was at the front of the race for a long time, until his stomach suddenly started to play up. At the foot of the Col de Peyresourde, the Limburger really couldn't stand it anymore. "In blind panic, I rushed into a motor home for a big message," Dumoulin said after his race. Peter Sagan also looked up a camper later in the Tour. During the seventeenth ride, the tastemaker of the round and the billboard of cycling put his bicycle against a camper along the road and then relieved himself inside.

The whole round in the camper

Team Sky goes a little further in the use of a camper. Richie Porte, the leader of Team Sky, slept in his own camper during the Giro d'Italia. He slept in his own camper the entire round. Riders normally sleep in a different hotel every day in a grand lap. But the Australian himself slept in a large camper that was parked in front of the team hotel.
