{"product_id":"miniatuur-wielrenster-gele-trui-de-dame-bernard-eddy","title":"Miniature Female Cyclist Yellow Jersey | the Lady | Bernard \u0026 Eddy","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis miniature female cyclist from the Belgian brand Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy wears the yellow jersey of the Tour de France. She lies flat on the bars, at full sprint. At 54 millimetres she is small enough to work as decoration on a bookshelf or windowsill. She is cast in a zinc alloy and painted by hand, and her weight keeps her standing wherever you set her down. An ideal gift for anyone who loves cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Ladies\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew to the collection: female riders. Where the Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy peloton was made up of men only, the Ladies now ride along — in the same jerseys and at the same scale. That reflects a cycling world in which the women's peloton has found an audience of its own in recent years, with the Tour de France Femmes and classics followed as closely as the men's.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Sprinter\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ladies come in one position: that of the Sprinter. Bent low over the bars with the head down, giving everything in the last two hundred metres of the race. Of the five riding positions the Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy riders come in, this is the fastest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe yellow jersey\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYellow is the colour of the leader in the general classification of the Tour de France. The jersey dates from 1919 and owes its colour to the yellow paper of L'Auto, the newspaper that organised the race. Since 2022 the women have had their own Tour de France Femmes, with the same yellow jersey for the leader.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003ePauline\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery female cyclist by Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy carries a first name of her own. Do you know who this one is? Pauline refers to Pauline Ferrand-Prévot, the French rider who became world champion on the road, in cyclo-cross and in mountain biking. In 2025 she won the Tour de France Femmes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/bernard-eddy-miniatuur-wielrenners-handbeschilderd\" title=\"View the entire Bernard \u0026amp; Eddy collection\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBernard \u0026amp; Eddy - View the entire collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eName:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pauline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJersey:\u003c\/strong\u003e yellow jersey, Tour de France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePosition:\u003c\/strong\u003e the Sprinter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e zinc alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePainting:\u003c\/strong\u003e by hand\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 54 x 58 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 30 grams\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e from 3 years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafety:\u003c\/strong\u003e EN71 1-2-3 and ASTM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eOne rider is a beginning, not an end\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePut Pauline with the other Ladies — Jeannie, Joane, Elisa and herself in the polka dot jersey — and you have a complete women's peloton.

They were largely forgotten by the start of this century, until Bernard \u0026amp; 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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bernard \u0026 Eddy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58280204075352,"sku":"BERNARD\u0026EDDY-304091","price":13.5,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0505\/9044\/9818\/files\/Ladies_Gele_Trui-DesignMarket_A.webp?v=1787740151","url":"https:\/\/designmarket.today\/en\/products\/miniatuur-wielrenster-gele-trui-de-dame-bernard-eddy","provider":"Designmarket.today","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
