Minor Adjustments TdFF26-1
At the end of the men's Tour de France, I realized that I had neither seen nor painted a mechanic hanging out of the car adjusting something on their rider's equipment. Today in the early kilometers of the Tour de France Femmes, I saw the EF Education-Oatly mechanic leaning out to of the window to fix Cedrine Kerboal's race radio. That is when I learned through Anthony McCrossan that it is no longer permitted for safety reasons. That is a rule I can agree with, but apparently, not EF's mechanic nor Director Sportif. I guess they won't mind paying the fine they are sure to face either. It did save time, and Kerboal was swiftly back into the peloton.
