Tägliche Briefings vor den Etappen, insbesondere vor der anspruchsvollen Fahrt über den Col de Sommeiller, ermöglichten eine reibungslose Planung. Die maximale Gruppengröße von 12 Personen förderte eine individuelle Betreuung und dabei die Kommunikation zwischen dem erfahrenen Guide und den Fahrern.
