Di Luca might only have finished second in that race, but it looks like he was the only one who had ever previously held a wine glass in his hand.

Koen De Kort married an Aussie women who was part of the TDU - Unsure if she was a podium girl.
She was, and so was O'Grady's wife apparently.
Alongside the TV and the Air fryer.Drenthe takes the cake for best prize. Literally!
Dwars door Vlaanderen.
Why?
Oh come on, that's a good one...
Laporte got a brown one. I think the worst thing was that they had Lidl Champagne for the podium ceremonies. That doesn't exactly scream World Tour nor ProSeries to me.
They always get a horse at Dwars door Vlaanderen. I think it has something to do with the Horse racing circuit in the finish town of Waregem.Dwars door Vlaanderen.
Why?
On animals of the equine family, I think the donkey from KBK looks better than this horse
In some races you win a small horse, in others you'll get a full-grown man (or a lifelike wax figure)

Yes, but they have to thoroughly wash it first, which is why it appears to have shrunk a bit since the nineties.
If you win the Tour du Doubs, you get a giant bell:
(If you finish 2nd or 3rd, you get what looks to me like a box of wine. Seems like a better prize...)
Last year, the entire podium got bells!

It's actually smoked sausages, which are better for your teeth than a bell.
The man on the right has more Vuelta stage wins than the man on the left, how crazy is that?In some races you win a small horse, in others you'll get a full-grown man (or a lifelike wax figure)
I think some prizes are not meant for consuming.
They're wearing the bell all wrong. You need a Swiss person to show how to do it.
A stage win in Romandie gets you an incomplete wheel of cheese to give to your brother
Normally you have to win the Itzulia or CSS to get to wear a silly floppy hat, but if you ride for EF, you can wear one on the pre-stage presentation platform.
