I have seen videos and in person some very high quality bike wraps, for those unfamiliar it's basically heat shrink wrap in place of the paint of the bicycle. Curious if that's what Cervelo provided Kuss for the final stage, the red looks good.. Better late than never

Maybe he didn't want one earlier...

Why are Jumbo riding in a rip-off of the 2016 Sky jersey where they all looked like they became Estonian champions?

Really hope she's going on the podium!!!! I've never seen a podium dog before!Has there been one before?
I don't know about in the context of accompanying the winner as this would be, but we have had them in stages around the St Bernard Hospice as prizes.

Contador got one for the 2009 Verbier stage, and Geraint Thomas got one for La Rosière in 2018.

I didn't see any confirmation whether or not dogs-as-prizes have been given out at other races in the vicinity, but Esteban Chaves did share the podium with some St. Bernard pups in the 2014 Tour de Suisse after winning the Verbier stage.
