Adjunct to scarves and their various utilities in cycling
I have previously mentioned scarves and cycling and someone posted
something about newspapers and their role in the Tour de France I noticed that in stage 13, there were quite a few cyclists who shoved newspapers up their jerseys/tops just as they crested the big col. Indeed, there were quite a few bystanders(?) who were standing by to hand out wads of newsprint, as well! I did see a AG2R(?) rider do the same in the stage before(?) so, maybe, the tradition continues |

Thanks Theo, Newspapers are also good above a groundsheet. We newspaper aren't! I speak from experience... Tomasso. |
