This miniature female cyclist from the Belgian brand Bernard & Eddy wears the champion's jersey of Spain, in the red and yellow of the national flag. 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.
The Ladies
New to the collection: female riders. Where the Bernard & 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.
The Sprinter
The 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 & Eddy riders come in, this is the fastest.
The Spanish champion's jersey
Whoever wins the national road race championship may wear the champion's jersey for a year in every race they start. For Spain it is done in the red and yellow of the flag. In the country of La Vuelta, that jersey is recognised at the roadside straight away.
Joane
Every female cyclist by Bernard & Eddy carries a first name of her own. Do you know who this one is? Joane refers to Joane Somarriba, the Spanish rider who won the women's Tour de France three times and the Giro twice. In 2003 she became world time trial champion.

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.
