MET Gala meets WorldTour
Stage 7 marks the first time trial of the 2024 Tour de France. Which, based on recent time trials at major races, promises to be quite a (fashion) show.
Forget threshold power outputs and VO2 max. The Stage 7 ITT from Nuits Saint Georges to Gevrey Chambertin is all about the fashion, baby, a rolling 25.3km catwalk to rival anything you’ll see at Paris Fashion week or the MET Gala.
I’ll take your Lady Gaga and raise you a flowing Specialized TT5 headsock.
Gucci? No thank you. It’s Giro Aerohead 2.0 all the way for me.
Emily Ratajkoski in Prada? Oh, please. Sweet Protection Redeemer 2Vi is sooooo on trend in 2024.
Seriously, who knows what weird and wonderful fashion accoutrements the teams have in store for us tonight? Chest fairings? Aero nose cones? Seal skin socks? The mind boggles… and the UCI will no doubt be on high alert with their tape measures and rule books.
Maybe ASO has even asked Ben Simmons to be time keeper?
Enjoy the show!
