I have an idea for what the antenna was really for. The guy is a dog lover, he couldn't imaging a day without his lovable puppy so he kept her on GPS tracking while cycling in france so that he can see her via ultra high-resolution satelite imaging. Here is a picture of his dog as seen through his goggles: http://www.digitalburn.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/astro_garmin.jpg Though it may be to late for the contest… I have an idea for what the antenna was really for.

This particular rider, a good friend of mine, let me in on his secret. This thing on his head is not an antenna but a prop as it is sometimes helpful to his mental game to duck his head and pretend that he is a huge white unicorn dashing, and sometimes taking flight, on his way through the other riders to the finish line. He even pretends to pluck other riders from their two wheeled steed with his single horn. Sometimes he also pretends that he is in a modern day jousting competition in which he plows his head through another cyclist to win the love of a lady, he finds that this prop is good for that as well. The line between fantasy and reality can become blurred in these intense moments unfortunately and his fantasies have gone to far in other competitions. He has actually harmed other riders by throwing them to the ground and trampling them with his bike leaving them bloodied and scared in the past. Hopefully, he will take it easy this time. Silly? Maybe. But it is a good way to pass the time and stick his Head in the game as long as he can control it.

The antenna serves the function of keeping his head tilted at a calculated angle and orientation that give him a scientifically determined aerodynamic advantage, which will equate to riding performance gains in meters if not kilometers... And yes, the antenna performs other functions, including piping in inspiring opera music and other motivational media content; GPS capability; and suspected social media technology integration. It was developed by an international technology team of 6 who coordinated their design and engineering efforts via the Internet, and only met twice to assemble the final product. It's like a digital steroid of sorts, and yes, there are questions in the air about the device's legal compliance with rules for the Tour. The rider's lawyer states he is not in violation of contest rules and regulations and will appeal any disqualification efforts. Factiods:
