About this project
Stéphane Bertrand (France) took part in The Sun Trip 2013, The Sun Trip 2018 and Sun Trip Tour 2017, the long-distance adventure on solar-powered bikes held since 2013.
The machine is a solar bike.
Stéphane Bertrand has a long Sun Trip history: in 2013 he finished 5th in Astana, alongside his friends Angélique and Guillaume. After the first Sun Trip Tour in 2017 he came back for the 2018 Lyon–Canton aiming to win, and was the direct rival of eventual winner Raf Van Hulle until route trouble in China – stopped by police in the Xinjiang mountains – and mechanical problems. He finished 4th in the solar challenge in 55 days.
