Putting a cabbage leaf under your cap was a well tried and tested technique for keeping cool in hot sun. Not tried it myself but I learned about it from reading Rene de la Tour in 'Sporting Cyclist' rather a long time ago........................Rene Pellardin definitely my second favourite to Rebour. He had a good eye for the comedy in cycling. The Tour de France wasn't always the super serious event we see on TV today. Here's Barry Hoban with (I think) a lettuce on his head, to cool down, obviously![]()
In France it's not really regarded as 'art', by the establishment at least, and outside of the trade it was rarely appreciated or lauded. So these great chroniclers of the age went (mostly) to their graves unsung and unrecognised.
