Moorcroft's Description
2024 is the 10-year anniversary of the popular Grand Depart of the Tour de France in Yorkshire and this design comes in time to celebrate the occasion. From the perspective of a spectator, the high-octane spirit and excitement of the sprint race is captured as clusters of cyclists in contrasting colours tour across the Yorkshire Dales National Park.
As they cycle through the wide-open dales, criss-crossed with rivers and dry-stone walls and bridges, with the exposed moors looming above and beyond, the adrenalin can be felt as you circle the vase. Head down, shoulders bent, the serious cyclists focus only on the narrow road in front. It is for the Moorcroft spectator to appreciate the ancient villages, farmsteads and terraced rows of lead-miners stone cottages or indeed the pro-cyclists’ garments and bikes tailored to achieve maximum aerodynamics.
