Because in 1960s France, if you were hot during a bike race, you drank champagne.

Oui....then the riders stop for a quick cigarette break while enjoying a quickey from their girlfriends and a glass of red wine.

What a fab blast from the past!

Excellent little bit of history :-)

I watched it on mute and read the subtitles in Phil Liggett's voice.

Actually, you still can't be fruit as an energy food. Bananas, for instance, are much more effective than gels for quick energy. (Dates are also good.) The only advantages for a gel is that it's small, you can carry as much as you need, it comes in many flavors, and you don't have to peel it. Ounce for ounce, though, you're much better off with a banana.

The riders looked like men in those days, but nowadays cyclists look like boys
