normally the term roughly translates as happy hour, which is funny b/c it’s clearly more than just one hour…

I’d like to add that the event will be streamed live on the Tour’s website. We’ll have over 8 cameras covering the finals so it should be a pretty sick coverage. You can see some hype here: http://www.drtopo.com/tdb

Also, there will be a 5 à 7 on Saturday. I don’t know what’s the expression in English, but we will be serving beer until 7PM on Saturday while there will be a DJ spinning (or a small band).

Be there (or watch it on your computer).

thanks miss.
Happy hour until 7PM but then we kick everybody out. The routesetters will need some privacy to do their magic.
The real party is on Sunday.

From what I understand the women are qualifying first on Saturday. Do the men have to be in iso that whole time or can we show up later? Some clarification would be great. Thanks.
