MUSIC FOR CHECHU : SELECTED BY FANS
Just before this year's Tour de France, we decided to send a present to Chechu from his fans. We asked you to suggest some music for his iPod, we know plugs himself into it when he's warming up. We had a great response, from fans across the world, and some brilliant suggestions.

Thank you to everybody who took precious time to email us. We realised our project in just over a week, and it was such a lot of of fun. Does Chechu like your choices? Well, we don't know ... yet! We'll find out and let you know.
We downloaded all these tracks from two great websites, All of MP3 and Calabash Music.
Thank you especially to Christine Kahane for delivering the CDs into Chechu's hands. Watch out for Christine's photos and news from the Tour this week, coming soon at www.chechurubiera.info.
