Information on pro cycling teams' masseuse... I think called sougneirs?
I've read about the people who do the massages for the riders, who also hand out the feed bags and towels. I think they were called sougneirs? It's pronounced swan-yers.
I just wanted to know if there was a book or website about them, how to become one, that kind of thing.
Thanks!
The Tour de France is one of the world's most difficult sports challenges. Like all pro cycling events, it involves a large cadre of people to support the riders. Soigneurs are kind of like a personal assistant to the stars of the cycling world.
Soigneurs do a lot of tasks that frees up the riders to concentrate on the battle for the day. The Soigneurs takes care of nutrition (cooking, preparing food, drink bottles ,etc), and provides massage therapy for aching muscles, helping speed recovery time in this grueling sport.
It has been said that the right soigneur can help a team by keeping riders in tip top shape and by being a source of stability, as the one who can be counted on to do what the others are too busy to take care of. The right soigneur doesn't win the race, but the wrong one sure could make it harder to win.
