We recently caught up with our very friendly, easy-going Shimano Sports Marketing Officer Joost Hoetelmans to hear all about his travels while covering the first week of the Tour de France. He kicked off our chat with, “Today Michael Matthews won! He’s one of our sponsored riders, and on our new prototype shoes, so it was a good day… again. It was so nice to be part of the race as it’s the biggest one in the world. All eyes are on the teams and what the mechanics are doing, while I just walk in between and support them,” enthused Joost.
