Tour de France 2014

The Legend of the Maillot Jaune

Could race founder Henri Desgrange have known when he decided in 1919 to distinguish the Tour de France leader with a yellow-colored racing jersey that he was creating such an icon? Almost 100 years later, the race for the maillot jaune inspires the cycling community as well as my annual TdF Brunch.

This breakaway project is inspired by my love of the Tour de France AND the amazing production team at NBC Sports. How they can edit together all those fantastic video packages so quickly is beyond me - it takes me most of the day to get one crafting video edited.
