“Tibopino”, the song by Jaune Mayo that you need to know to encourage Thibaut Pinot

“Tibopino, On a bike, you’re beautiful Pinot”, the song is simple, the clip produced by amateur cyclists who would like to see Thibaut Pinot finally win the Tour de France. Music!

The clip is making its way among cycling fans. Posted in March 2020, it has already been viewed more than 10,000 times.
If the song will not be nominated for the Victoires de la Musique, two cousins, fans of cycling, have put a nice pedal to make this clip full of humor.

Behind this song, two cousins, bicycle fans. Jean-Baptiste, 34 years old from Amiens in the Somme. And Simon 29 years old, from the Pyrénées-Atlantiques. Both practice cycling. Jean-Baptiste competes at the departmental level, he humbly admits.

“We’ve been following Thibaut Pinot for 10 years, since he was a hopeful. He is the runner of the peloton that we find the most sympathetic (not that the others are not), because of his values, his commitment to animals. He is a runner who has several dimensions ” and that pleases me, explains Jean-Baptiste.

In 2019, the two cousins ​​meet again in the summer in Drôme a few weeks after the Tour de France. “It was the most beautiful Tour we have ever experienced. It was difficult for us to live with the abandonment of Thibaut Pinot. We took the guitar, we improvised, we said to ourselves that we had to exorcise this moment ” adds Jean-Baptiste. At Christmas, the two cousins ​​take action. A computer, a microphone, the means at hand, they record and edit their clip.

“There was no pretension on our part in making this song, if we had known that we would talk about it as much, we would have looked after everything more carefully” said smiling Jean-Baptiste to whom we reported that the title “Tibopino ”Would have been broadcast on the Tour d’Occitanie.

In Mélisey, Sète or Pau,
In July we live for the bike
It’s been a long time since the Badger
That at home we no longer have the jersey
We all took out the flags
On the side of the road, it’s a drink
In our glasses, there is not too much water
Yellow is not just the jersey
Tibopino, Tibopino, Allez Tibo, Tibopino!
Tibopino, Tibopino, On a bike, you’re beautiful Pinot

Among the rhymes of the song, everything is there. Melisey, the small town of Haute-Saône where Thibaut Pinot is resourceful, likes to go fishing, and raises his goats.
Obviously, the title addresses the tears of Thibaut Pinot forced to retire from the Tour de France 2019 a few days before the finish.

His teammates, on the big stage
Will roll full speed, for the hero
The mountain as a galloping dancer
Attack, attack, Tibopino
We will forget our tears our sobs
Even the English will do cocorico!

Did Thibaut Pinot listen to and appreciate the song of Mayo Yellow ? The athlete’s only return is a retweet of a podcast show dedicated to these two fans and their song.

Simon and Jean-Baptiste never had the opportunity to interact with the Comtois cyclist. They have seen him many times on the side of the road during races. In this month of September, they will not be able to attend the Tour de France, but reserve the right to be present on the Champs-Elysées on September 20 on the day of arrival. “For several years we have thought that this is the Year for Thibaut Pinot on the Tour de France. He is one of the 2-3 riders who can titillate the Slovenian Primoz Roglic this year, we believe it ”says Jean-Baptiste.

In the peloton in yellow it will be beautiful
And on the podium at the top!
Tibopino, Tibopino, Allez Tibo, Tibopino!
Tibopino, Tibopino, On a bike, you’re beautiful Pinot
We too like Kylian MBappé
We want to party on the Champs-Elysées
We will soon parade
The Tour is for Thibaut this year!

The 2020 Tour de France will pass this year again on the lands of Thibaut Pinot, in Lure, Melisey and the small station of Planche-des-Belles-Filles and its climb has now become a classic of the route of the Grande Boucle.
For fans of Thibaut Pinot, see you on September 19 at the Planche-des-Belles-Filles. In mayo yellow? It will be the day before the arrival on the Champs-Elysées. Wink, in the clip, Thibaut Pinot is already virtually on the Champs-Elysée, with his faithful goat! A sign ?
