Tim Cofidis had 11 bicycles stolen from their truck overnight before the start of the second phase of the Tournament de France, said Tim on Sunday.

The team, based near Lille, managed to find enough bicycles to begin with a careful two, hilly ride from 209.1 km from Lauwin-Planka to Boulogne-sur-Mer, but convicted burglaries.

Each bike estimates a team that cost 13,000 euros (15,311,40 USD).

“The door of the workshop was forced open, and 11 of our bicycle bikes stolen despite security measures set in place” The team said in the statement.

“Team Cofidis strongly condemns this act of blanks and calls the perpetrators to act in purity and responsibility.”

The team added that police officers visited the hotel to document the burglary and started their investigation.
