Daniel Rebour - Illustrator. Who's your favourite cycling illustrator/Cartoonist?

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 😵
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........................:)
