There’s no doubt the Tour de France is a grueling race.
The 21 stage race takes place July 1 – July 23 beginning in Dusseldorf, France and ending in Paris. Polish cyclist Pawel Poljanski took to Instagram following Stage 16 to offer the world a visual of the physical toll the race has on the legs.
Poljanksi posted the photo below with the caption: ‘After sixteen stages I think my legs look little tired’.
That would be an understatement. I don’t think a standard ice bath would provide much relief for that. Poljanksi came in 65th on the stage.
