History | Tour de France

Miniature riders originally appeared in the 1930s when the Tour de France organization decided to put national teams in the spotlight by creating a publicity caravan. Although very popular, they were forgotten at the beginning of this century.
Bernard & Eddy have revived this tradition. It is the brainchild of a graphic designer, born in the 1970s when the Tour de France reached its peak. Long before they became a drawing, and later a concrete project, the miniature cyclists were already in his mind, and he was already playing with the idea. Eventually, he designed a 3D drawing to create a unique mold from which the first figurine would emerge. 

"I try to revive something universal in sport, travel, and dreams. It's the world of the Olympic Games, the World Cup, the heroes of today and yesterday."

Cycling Jerseys

You won't find jerseys with sponsors or logos on Bernard & Eddy's cyclists. Instead, they declare: Long live the flags!

"After all, Bernard Hinault is French, Eddy Merckx is Belgian, Joop Zoetemelk is Dutch, Miguel Indurain is Spanish, Marco Pantani is Italian..."

Besides their respective national origins, these champions have all become legendary figures in the collective subconscious. These cyclists are a great gift for any cycling enthusiast. But they also appeal to children's imagination to find their own way in the world.
