9-time Tour de France finisher Frankie Andreu Will Make Personal Appearances with Beaux Voyages Guests in France

Monument, CO, March 25, 2006 --(PR.com)-- “Frankie will meet with our guests and give his personal assessment of the world’s biggest bike race, and he’ll answer questions and sign autographs for our guests”, said Ballenberger.

Andreu finished the Tour de France on nine separate occasions, and he was a many-time teammate and lieutenant for Lance Armstrong. He was a major factor in Lance’s victories in 1999, 2000 and 2001. He retired at the end of the 2001 season after a professional racing career that spanned 13 years, 11 of those at the highest level on the European circuit with the top American team, sponsored by 7-Eleven, then Motorola, and subsequently U.S. Postal Service and more recently The Discovery Channel. Frankie was a member of two U.S. Olympic teams and finished 4th in the 1994 Games in Atlanta. He had many victories in his career, including five national championships as a track rider in the 1980’s. Since his retirement from professional racing, Frankie has continued his career in the cycling world. He was a team director for U.S. Postal in 2002, and he has become a well-known TV commentator for OLN during the Tour de France and other cycling events. He also gives motivational speeches for large groups and organizational events, and he conducts training camps and training programs for groups and individuals. “It is an honor to be associated with a cycling luminary like Frankie Andreu” said Ballenberger. “I’m sure our guests will be thrilled that he can take some time from his TV duties at the Tour de France and meet with them personally.”
