French superhero lines up for Le Race

In the true traditions of the Tour de France, cyclists will find extra motivation as they head up the first climb in Saturdays Le Race in the form of a French superhero who vows no cyclist will pass without receiving his special blend of motivation.

The superheros true identity remains a well kept secret as race day nears, but he says to “expect the unexpected,” and has been working on his outfit for some time.

Le Race organisers say they love the idea of spectators dressing up to encourage the riders, saying major cycle races overseas all have iconic figures who dress up for the event.

The Devil at the Tour de France is a famous feature on the side of the road each year and receives almost as much attention as some of the cyclists.
