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.
Velomobile paces peloton.

It's the same the whole world over
It's the poor what gets the blame
It's the rich what gets the pleasure
Isn't it a blooming shame?

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:
