A legend embarks on the route of a Tour de France stage

If Vladimír had decided to build a bicycle for display in a museum, he would have finished much earlier. But because he wants to race the bike, it can’t just look nice – it also has to be professionally welded and fully functional. “I had to build the bike with excess capacity so that it wouldn’t fall apart on me when I was on the road,” he laughs, explaining that the bicycle must safely carry a 90-kilogram person.
