The Stéphane Myth!
Central character of the 2013 edition, in duet with his friend Stéphane Scotto di Cesare, Stéphane Briel has been remembered by many Sun Trip fans, for his humor and the short videos made throughout the adventure.
In 2013, the story wants him to finish the adventure without motor and without solar, with the added bonus of the public prize for the duet of Bretons. More information: https://ssdc-the-sun-trip.blog4ever.com/
Since that moment Stéphane has always kept a great interest in the journey by solar bike, by multiplying projects, in particular Ukraine in 2017 with his friend Ifig.
For this summer of 2020, he comes back to see us for part of the Sun Trip France!
