Randonneuring is not racing, and there are rarely any prizes greater than perhaps a medal for finishing within the allotted time (no First, Second, Third medals or anything like that, we all get the same medal). But from what I've heard there have been ex-TDF riders on the Paris-Brest-Paris.

As for the RAAM, I don't believe any TDF riders have tried it, but I could be mistaken.

Generally, the people who ride these things are ordinary people who have a deep passion for long distance riding.
