What is that rack arrangement on the Scott?

Nice photos. I rode up to Col de la Croix de Fer on September 15, 2016, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Where was the 2nd photo taken?

I've seen the Croix de Fer, but I was on skis at the time.
This was from November 2014, a few miles outside Manosque in Provence.
It was a bit of a cold grey day, and I'd had to stop at a supermarket part way round and buy a fleece!
That's it on the rack with my waterproof jacket bungied on top of it.

Yea I twigged that, though thought it looked more useful for a rackbag. Where does it come from, not seen one before?

We picked that up at my sisters local bike shop in the Netherlands

Our ride up the Croix de Fer was on 5 Sept 2016. The only day when the weather was not good. I really enjoyed the ride up. The descent back down through the drizzle, dodging cattle and sheep sh1t was fun.
The second image is at the bottom of the Lacets du Montvernier. A fun ride with hairpins every 1-200m, but continuing up to the top of the Col du Chaussy was quite testing. The descent back down the other side, with gusting crosswinds was entertaining in places.

Of course, I should have recognised that: I've also ridden up the Lascets de Montvernier, on the 26th of June this year.
