Saumur CCI*** and Pau CCI**** this fall are target events for many nations this year, the US included, as the world looks forward to the 2014 WEG in Normandy, France. Both Saumur and Pau are designed by Pierre Michelet, who is set to create the course next year for the World Championships. His courses are known to be technical and challenging, and this weekend could be a good preview for what we could see next year.
