Where's all the TdF tractor art?

[Fnaar]

Like this... are they not doing it this year (on strike, knowing French farmers) or have I just not been watching at the right time?

I find it's not Le Tour until you see a photo of nuns waving at the side of the road.

Can you see British farmers collaborating to produce a piece of field art and the motto: "Proud To Feed You?"

I thought not.

What about the Devil i have only seen him once.Just done some searching and he has only been seen twice in all on the telly.I wonder why?

 

[matthat]

Talk of the Devil,i have just seen him at the bottom of the final climb,according to the tv bloke.He is sponsored now so the telly do not linger on him as much.He is in yellow himself,his costume covered in motifs.So i have my answer.

"Get orf moi laaaand", possibly... but no, you're right, I can't see it!

He's about, I've spotted him several times, glad to see he's recovered after his illness last year. A couple of years ago I had the pleasure of meeting him during the Tour de Suisse, what a thoroughly nice chap he was too.

He was shown v briefly on one of the early ramps at the bottom of the climb (on both ascents) - in yellow - I was looking for the red cape so almost missed him.

The yellow is actually gold to celebrate 100 years of the TdF apparently

I don't mind them disappearing; I'm an ex-tractor fan...
