PEOPLE

At the core of everything: the Team

• 8 Riders

• 30 Staff on site daily, from soigneurs to chefs, sports directors to mechanics and more

• 37 Total Staff rotated across the 3-week epic.

Whether on the bike or behind the scenes, the Team was a mobile crew, rebuilding itself every day in a new town.

Racing the Tour is a rolling operation. Tudor moved every day with a convoy of 17 vehicles, including:

• 1 Team Bus – the riders’ recovery sanctuary

• 1 Mechanic Truck – home to dozens of bikes and parts

• 1 Kitchen Truck – nutrition prepared fresh, every day

• 2 Storage Vans – logistics, matresses

• 1 Fridge Van – hydration and recovery essentials

• 2 Race Cars – in the convoy, radio in hand

• 6 Support Cars – for feed zones, comms, route recon

• 1 Hospitality Van – for partners and guests along the route

• 1 Time Trial Van – tailored for the clock-battles

SOIGNEURS IN ACTION

• 3,500 Bidons prepared

• 200 Musettes passed in feed zones

• 50–80 Ice Socks daily on hot stages

• 6L of Slushies prepared ahead of each hot stage

• 25 Rice Krispies Treats daily — quick carbs before the start
