A day of rest… er, interviews – Tour de France 2009

The first rest day (in name only) of the Tour de France is upon Team Garmin-Slipstream. What does that mean for the team? Well, for the riders it means an easy training ride followed by media interviews, and more media interviews, lunch, media interviews, maybe a nap, interviews…

For the mechanics, it is a chance to catch-up on their work, making sure the bikes are all in top shape.

Take a look:

    Wow, that whole bus is a giant moving bike garage – cool! Beats strapping a dozen or so Thule’s on top, I guess. Also, a quick glance at the first bus pic looks like the bike has tiny tires the size of a chainring, a little trompe l’oeil from the camera.
