    It's a Ford Mondeo with some fancy branding on top, no?

    not the pictured xfr no. i notice in spain they've x type which is the mondeo in a fancy frock. the xfr was obvioulsy wheeled in for the launch - if they used them for classics they'd be refuelling before the end!

    i'd imagine it's no less practical than any other estate car

    I've said it before, i'll say it again... those big skoda's are hard to beat for a team support car.

    I spoke to a lady from the event company for Jag and she said that the estate model used currently is being discontinued so Jag had these mocked up for the day. Spend a whole day getting them all 'stickered' up. Stunning cars though.

    We hired a Skoda whilst holidaying in Crete.

    The four of us got a sedan and managed to pack 4 x large suitcases, 4 x overnight bags and 2 x guitars (in cases) all in the boot / on back ledge.

    I agree - roomy as. That use the Wagons as the TDU here, and they are even better.

    Personally, I think gas cars on a bike route is idiotic. They should only allow electric or hydrogen or air cars during the race.

    I take it you're not too familiar with the reasons behind the birth of the Tour?

    electric cars can barely cover 200Km on 1 charge and hyrdogen fuel stations are hard to come by in apline villages

    You're forgetting it's LA's team, so it'll be more like this:

    Old but with a few performance enhancing additions. (of a purely techincal kind, of course :wink: )

    I'd go for one that was able to keep equipment like bikes on the roof.

    Surely that's only used for transporting the medical equipment.
