Tour Fun Fact
Podium girls
Besides a kiss, the podium girls also give the stage winner a stuffed lion (Lyonnaise Bank is a major sponsor) and a bottle of champagne to shake up and spray. For all you aspiring American Cyclists out there, make sure you are practicing the Euro-Style kissing on both cheeks.
USA Today quickie on the "pecking order in the world of professional kissers."
First, Credit Lyonnaise, the yellow jersey women, who also take on a variety of other promotional duties before working up to the podium.
Next, Champion's polka-dot podium women, who do some other meet-and-greets, as well.
Third, PMU's "racier" green jersey podium women, who also do "wild dance routines ... in the publicity caravan."
Finally, Aquarel's white jersey podium women, who also help pass out the company's bottled water.
