Col du Tourmalet: The Giant - Cycling Art PrintThe Giant of Tourmalet. Nicknamed Octave in honour of Octave Lapis, the first rider to cross the Col du Tourmalet in the Tour in 1910. The monument represents a rider in a dance. Although your legs may not have much dancing left in them at this stage! This unique print would make a lovely statement piece of cycling art in the home of any keen cyclist.
