'I Look Like a Clown': Stories of the Most Peculiar Leotard of the Tour De France

Summary by laprovincia.es
For exactly 50 years, red dots have been on French roads every summer. The lunar leotard, ‘maillot à pois’ in French, distinguishes the king from the Tour de France mountain: what began in 1975 almost as an experiment has become a symbol of the Tour today. There is nothing more than watching any stage on television to check out the thousands of people wearing white hats or shirts with red polka dots.
