My 8 year old declared yesterday that when she wins a stage at Tour De
France, she's going to have a podium *boy* give her flowers, trophy,
and a kiss on each cheek.

This inquiring mind wants to know...
--are the podium babes different each day, or the same? (And how does
one list that on one's resume? "Awards Presenter and Busser,
Centennial TdF")
--how long after the race finish is the podium thing? (Do the gals
have to kiss sweaty yuckky buggy cheeks, or do the riders wipe down or
even change out of their sweaty kit first?
--do they use the same jersey on LA every day and he gives it back
right after the event? Or do they have a new one?
--On the Velo-News site there's a marvelous photo gallery. In the team
time trial podium picture LA has his bibs hanging down under his
(team) jersey. Wassup widdat?
