So here we are in Broadstairs. I am staying in my Mother-in-Laws cottage, a Haig Homes ex-servicemans accomodation given to my Father-in-Law, Brian, on behalf of the RAF Benevolent Society. Way back both Brian's father and grandfather were in the Buffs serving in Europe and Egypt, Brian having served in the RAF in Nigeria and the Sudan, sadly not with us anymore. A great base for Max and my yearly walking holiday along the East Kent Coast, but today, a restday ready to start tomorrow.
The Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment), formerly the 3rd Regiment of Foot, was a line infantry regiment of the British Army traditionally raised in the English county of Kent and garrisoned at Canterbury. It had a history dating back to 1572 and was one of the oldest regiments in the British Army, being third in order of precedence (ranked as the 3rd Regiment of the line). The regiment provided distinguished service over a period of almost four hundred years accumulating one hundred and sixteen battle honours. In 1881, under the Childers Reforms, it was known as the Buffs (East Kent Regiment) and later, on 3 June 1935, was renamed the Buffs (Royal East Kent Regiment).
Rest day in Clermont-Ferrand, July 10 - In the Alpecin-Deceuninck team, the 'coffee ride' was all about RAYMOND POULIDOR, the grand father of MATHIEU VAN DER POEL (in the middle with yellow glasses). The unique "Merci Poupou" shirts, purple and yellow after the Mercier shirts in the sixties, which the team also used at the start of the 2021 Tour, will later be auctioned for charity.

MARCEL DUPONT of the Belgian B-team explains to the lovely lady of Biarritz how to stay in the saddle... of a ladies bike. And for what the bell is used for... Indeed, it is a restday in the Tour.
Marcel Dupont (1917-2008), nicknamed "The Little Eagle of Jupille" after his hometown in the Ardennes, was professional from 1940 to 1951. Ofcourse his career was brutally interrupted by the the second world war. In 1949, Dupont finished fifth in the Tour de France (20th in 1948). In his career he achieved ten victories.
Sport Club Magazine has no information about the lovely lady on the bike...
