Along every road stage, there is a designated Feed Zone, where the team soigneurs hand out Musettes to the passing cyclist. The trick is to hold the bag loosely aloft and their riders grab the straps of the bag, sling them over there shoulders, and rummage through like a kid going through their Christmas stocking. An average cyclist will burn upwards of six thousand calories in an average Grand Tour Stage, so keeping them topped up is a challenge during the course of the race. It is vitally important, Pierre Rolland (Europcar) claimed that he it a "food block" during yesterday's stage ruining his chances of a stage win, leaving him to come in a distant third. This is an original watercolor and ink postcard (4"x6") that was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from
