Here come the wacky racers! No not Mark Cavendish and Chris Froome, the peloton isn’t due for another two hours or so.  This is something almost as exciting in its own right, the Tour de France ‘promotional caravan’. And what remarkable vehicles they are! Many of these would put the cars of Dick Dastardly, Muttley and Penelope Pitstop to shame. There goes a four wheeled chicken, closely followed by huge box of washing powder, a giant rolling tyre and a pack of galloping horses on the roof of a car.
