The world’s largest car museum, the Cité de l’Automobile, is located in Mulhouse, as is the Cité du Train museum. The city also has some great cycling tales to tell. At the end of the opening day of the 1926 Tour, the stage winner Jules Buysse pulled on the Yellow Jersey, which was ultimately won in Paris by... Lucien Buysse, his older brother. On only one other occasion have siblings worn the Yellow Jersey in the same edition of the Tour, and they were Belgian too: Romain and Sylvère Maes in 1939. During the 2014 Tour, Mulhouse also witnessed one of Tony Martin’s rare non-time trial victories.
