  • One thing I will never get, wtf is it with taking your children on the podium?

  • Any children who spend long enough on the podium are eligible for UCI citizenship which means a Swiss passport.

  • I think it's about two things really. Firstly pro racers tend to be slightly absent in their children's lives so having them up there is a statement that the children are still important to them. Secondly I think it's a bit of a push back against the culture of a sport that still uses podium girls. The TdF has moved on a bit from scantily clad models but its still putting up kissing eye candy.

  • If I won the Tour I would have my little boy up there with me in an instant
