Sick of multi-tools, tire irons, and gritty fingernails? You’ve found your motivation to train for le Tour de France.
It may be one of the world’s most grueling races, but this video proves that these 198 riders have it easy when it comes to bike maintenance. For even the smallest of bike hiccups, riders can radio their support vehicles. Soon, a mechanic (with massive biceps) will pop out of a car loaded with top-quality bikes, swap one out and even give the racer a hearty boost to get back up to speed.
No doubt, these efficient behind-the-scenes players are as no-nonsense and impressive as the athletes themselves.
