"The Skoda Yeti, Octavia and Superb Tour de France (TdF) limited editions all feature ‘le Tour de France’ badging, waterproof seat covers and bike wheel bags plus additional extras, while all customers will get a centenary edition of the Rouleur Tour de France book and a competition entry to win a 'VIP Tour de France experience'.

 

Each car will be available in exactly 198 units, which is the number of cyclists entered into this year's race, and all will be available in either Red, White or Blue colors that represent both the UK and France.

 

The Yeti TdF Edition is based on the Outdoor SE 2.0-litre TDI 140PS 4x4 adding an Amundsen satellite navigation system with DAB digital radio, Keyless Entry and Start System, floor mats and an internal bike rack, with OTR pricing set at £23,490."

Maybe, but they won't be moving

 

Where I work is on the route - we were informed yesterday that the road closure times have been extended.  The A659 Pool to Otley Road will be closed to vehicles from 05:00 to 15:00.  So arrive early for our all-day party at LS21 1RP with a licensed bar, loads of grub (including a hog roast) and a big screen to watch the whole of Stage 1.  Car park £8 all day, pedestrians and cycles free entry.

 

Shameless promotion over

I wonder if they will use any Yeti's as team cars.

The bootlet is way too small for serious work like that!    It will be the Octy or Superb TdF versions that will do that work.  The Yeti will just have a clock mounted on its roof or some stickers on the side.  Nothing that would require anything bigger than a briefcase to go in the bootlet.  hehehe

 

(I'm going to be FLAMED for that!    )

Or just pile the junk on the roof like Johann's signature pic.

Apparently it is strong enough to land a small helicopter...
