La Boucle de l' Artois

I think it's for elite amateurs, but I'm not really sure what 'elite' means in the French context. Judging by what I could see from the roadside the standard looked high

The club names on the start sheet certainly look like ordinary cycling clubs, but it's not easy to tell what their standard (or level of sponsorship) is.

I can only guess, but I expect the organisers would be pleased if they got an entry from a British team.

I've got a copy of the local paper (L'Abeille de la Ternoise) with this year's pre race write up. This would not be easy to scan (sheet size too big for my scanner), but I could probably get it to anyone seriously interested. This part of rural France is not yet fully into the 21st century and this year's write up is not yet on the paper's website, but you can read about last year's event here:
