Maillot Jaune

Inspired by the Tour de France, the Maillot Jaune (yellow jersey) broadside features on the left; the names of the five men who have won the Tour five or more times.

On the right, the title of Laterne Rouge is given to the rider who places last in the race. Laterne Rouge translated means Red Light, and refers to the red light at the back of a train's caboose. Names listed are the Laterne Rouge title holders for years 2002 through 2006.

Hand set lead type and hand cut linoleum block illustration.

NOTE: What appears to be a typo in the bottom text, "OutLandis Summer of 2006" is in actually a reference to the controversy surrounding Floyd Landis's win of the Tour in 2006.

He tested positive for steriods after an amazing comeback the day after seriously bonking in the mountains.
Will he retain the Yellow Jersey?
Jury is still out, but you can learn more about 'ole Floyd HERE.
