Miniature Cyclist Polka Dot Jersey | the Winner | Bernard & Eddy

This miniature cyclist from the Belgian brand Bernard & Eddy wears the polka dot jersey of the Tour de France. He throws one arm in the air to celebrate the win. At 54 millimetres he is small enough to work as decoration on a bookshelf or windowsill. He is cast in a zinc alloy and painted by hand, and his weight keeps him standing wherever you set him down. An ideal gift for anyone who loves cycling.

The Winner

This is the winner of the race. Just before he crosses the line he puts one arm in the air. Of the five riding positions the Bernard & Eddy riders come in, this is the only one that shows the outcome of the race. The others show moments along the long road to the finish. You always put this winner at the front, with the other riders on his wheel. Or set him out on his own, as a rider coming home solo.

The polka dot jersey

White with red dots: the jersey for the best climber in the Tour de France. Points are awarded at the summit of every categorised climb, and the harder the mountain, the more there are to win. A mountain stage with a summit finish is the finest match for this position: reaching the top and winning at once.

Stephen

Every cyclist by Bernard & Eddy carries a first name. Do you know who this one is? Stephen refers to Stephen Roche, who in 1987 won the Giro, the Tour de France and the world championship — all three in the same year. Only Eddy Merckx had done it before him. Or could it be Steven Rooks, who won the polka dot jersey in 1988?

One rider is a beginning, not an end

About Bernard & Eddy

Miniature riders first appeared in the 1930s, when the organisers of the Tour de France wanted to put the national teams in the spotlight with a publicity caravan. They were largely forgotten by the start of this century, until Bernard & Eddy brought the tradition back. There are no sponsors or logos on these riders, only countries and symbolic jerseys. “Long live the flags”, as the brand puts it.
