We’ve come to the second hard-earned rest day at the 2019 Tour de France and if we’re honest, we’re hard up for content. So in the name of a good chuckle, we plugged some of the characters of the Tour into the popular FaceApp to see what came out.
Think of it as a sneak peek of the 2070 Tour de France, Grand Masters edition.
Before the comments lead to breaching privacy laws, Russian hackers, and other conspiracy theories, have a read of this (this will likely be the first and last time we source Buzzfeed, but it’s that kinda post). TL;DR version: There’s no evidence that the app is uploading your whole camera roll to Russia.

Please excuse the interruption.
We want to produce the breadth and depth of coverage women’s cycling deserves, and by joining as a VeloClub member you’ll be directly assisting us with that goal. Our target is 1,000 new members.
We’ve already surpassed our 250 new member goal, which means that we’ll be launching a new weekly podcast hosted by Abby Mickey shortly. Our next goal is 700 new members, at which time we’ll be able to produce on-the-ground coverage from the biggest women’s races, including the Spring Classics, Giro Rosa, La Course, and the World Championships. Hitting our target of 1,000 new members will allow us to have year-round editorial coverage by hiring dedicated staff. That means hundreds of content pieces — the best news and reportage, feature writing, behind-the-scenes stories, profile interviews, and more.
Let’s change this together and make a difference.
