I've just spotted a velomobile on the T de F coverage.
It was on a field road parallel to the road and keeping pace with the peloton.

the commentators on ITV4 (bless 'em) speculated that it might have an engine inside it....

If it was on a decent road then it wouldn’t need anything other than a half decent cyclist...
And Celia tend to have those...

Saw the same sort of thing a few years ago only it was beating the peloton, commentators also stated it's probably got an engine in it to go that fast!
They obviously don't know about recumbents then.

Hopefully this link of the red Quest velomobile in Stage 4 of the TdF works:
