France - The 95th annual Tour de France was followed by hordes of passionate crowds cheering along the road. Covering the event for television with a highlights programme was Belgian national broadcaster VRT. Rosco provided gobos and a gobo rotator to animate the images.

VRT Broadcast presented its programme, which included interviews with cyclists and other TV personalities from France and Belgium, every night, in a different location along the route.

Set locations included places such as the courts of old castles as well as vineyards, with facilities supplied by Videohouse and lighting rented by Lites. Seeking visual interest for its coverage, VRT approached Rosco looking for a "bright and easy to use" visual aid that they could set up.
