Catalan Olympic Committee

The Catalan autonomous government is striving for a Catalan NOC, independent of the Spanish NOC. This may be the reason why, at the Pyrenean stage of the Tour the France on 10 July 2000, a spectator could be seen waving an Olympic flag lengthened ca. 1/4 of its length with the Catalan yellow and red stripes.
Santiago Dotor, 17 July 2000
