This Tour De France cyclist’s legs will scare the bejaysus out of you

This can't be healthy

Niall McIntyre

Pawel Poljanski is riding in his first Tour De France, and by looking at his legs, you can see the toll it is taking on him.

His Tour de France isn’t going as well as he would’ve hoped.

After 16 stages, he’s in 75th place and is 1:55:14 behind leader Chris Froome.

But, despite these struggles, Poljanski, along with all the other riders are putting in a ferocious effort into their tours.

In fairness to cyclists, they’re probably the most under-appreciated sports stars around. These lads are putting in three gruelling weeks of effort, cycling for more than four hours every day.

The effort is obviously taking a toll on him.

That doesn’t even look healthy.

Hopefully them incredibly muscular legs will fire him into a breakaway in the next few stages.

in this days try to find only good breakaway #tourdefrance
