Even us casual cyclists burn a lot of calories while out on the bike, but the pro is way off the charts burning 6,000 calories per stage. It is the soigneurs (and team cars) that keep them fueled up. Out on course there are designated 'Feed Zones' where the riders can grab musettes (lunch bags) from their soigneurs on the side of the road. After a successful grab, they will rifle through them stuffing whatever they want into their jersey's back pockets. Once emptied the musettes are tossed to eager fans along the side of the road. The musettes are a coveted souvenir along with the bidons for the thousands of fans that line the roads of France every day.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The work sells for $99 USD including shipping, but, yes, international shipping is both available and extra.
