Thierry Boutsen out of category on the Tour Auto

Thierry Boutsen got into the game with a 5th place on the Côte d'Azur in the summer of 2021. But the sun on the Promenade des Anglais gave way on this last day of April to the mist and the humidity of the Pyrenean valleys, because spring tends to arrive late in this region of France. If Thierry Boutsen wanted to warm up the atmosphere on the final podium organized in the principality of Andorra, the Belgian was going to have to work hard. His Shelby Cobra 289 only had a margin of around ten seconds over the Frenchman Raphaël Favaro, who had maximized the full potential of his little Lotus Elan 26R since leaving the Château de Rambouillet (Yvelines), four days previously.
