20 Individual Jerseys for Each Stage Throughout Race

252/B - „100 ANS DE MAILLOT JAUNE“ Nice 2019

To celebrate the centenary of the yellow jersey, Tour de France organiser Amaury Sports Organisation (ASO) and the race’s jersey sponsor Le Coq Sportif have announced 20 individual yellow jerseys to be worn during the 2019 Tour de France.

As there is no race leader until the end of the Stage 1, the winner of the opening stage will be then presented with the specially designed stage 2 jersey to wear the following day. Unique images of significant buildings, locations and riders are faintly overlaid onto each of the yellow jerseys so as not to detract from the iconic colour with the first jersey presented featuring The Atomium building in Brussels.

Domaine de Sceaux – Paris, France +++++

One of very important collections is saved in nice chateau in Paris. The name Robert Grandseigne (Le Havre 1885 – Paris 1961) is not very well known in connection with bicycles, but can be found in the aeronautical literature. He was present at the beginning of aviation, assisted Blériot when he flew over the English Channel, was famous for flying over Paris at night in 1911 and worked in the aviation industry all his life. He loved technology and was one of the first bicycle collectors. He constructed a travelling museum called “Crazy Rides" and travelled around various places with it, frequently “Finish Line" cities for the Tour de France. After he died, his wife donated the whole collection to the “Musée de ľlle de France” in Sceaux State Castle in Paris. This was in 1964. Since then, the bicycles haven't been exhibited for the public. So no one could see them. A number of well-known experts tried to gain access to the depositories and document the bicycles, but were mostly unsuccessful. Last year's 100th anniversary of the Tour de France changed the official stance and three machines were exhibited.

Musée Automobile de Provence, ORGON - France +++++

Very interesting auto, motorcycle and bicycle museum includid big shop with parts for historic cars and other antique machines. In the museum space is open stylish bar. Many and many examples there are in junction with brand Bugatti. Mr Delliere, who owns this museum has got enormous amounts off Bugatti parts in his live, and even directly from the stock of factory before time than factory was closed. We know some copies of famous Bugatti tube bicycle frame (but just one only or some sources claim 4 or 5 were built by Bugatti), but we don´t know if the machine which is at home here is original or the frame was made by using Bugatti´s drawings and the new computer redrawing. Nevertheless it is nice and very interestig part of bicycle history.
