This weekend, cyclists from around the world will compete in the last two stages of the Tour de France race.

Among these athletes is Boise native Matteo Jorgenson, who attributes his start in the sport to BYRDS, a youth cycling program here in the Treasure Valley.

Douglas Tobin, President of BYRDS, joined Idaho Matters to talk more about the program and the success of his riders.
