Princess Charlene looked radiant as the cyclists arrived in Monaco. The Princess greeted them in the afternoon, and together they celebrated the race’s 10-year anniversary with a giant cake. The cyclists then headed for Slammer’s, the famous bar in the La Condamine district, to celebrate their exploits on the day.
