Le Tour de France, the world pinnacle of bicycle racing, comes rushing to a close this week and will see one quick rider standing in triumph wearing the yellow jersey. To commemorate each day of the meandering 3430km two wheeled battle, designer Neil Stevens has been creating beautiful daily posters of the races 21 varied stages. Each design features the days winning riders sporting their relevant colors as they speed through landscapes representing the days terrain. Even if you aren’t a cycling fan, these bright designs are sure to get your wheels spinning with inspiration. Check Stevens’ site, crayonfire.co.uk for daily updates as the race progresses.
