It's the cover art for Tyler Childers' single "Nose on the Grindstone" (re-recorded). Leads his album *Snipe Hunter* (July 2025, produced by Rick Rubin). Painting by Erik Thor Sandberg: Tyler in a study holding a snipe, dog at his feet, bear chair, skulls, violin—full of Kentucky/Appalachian details and Easter eggs. Song's about a dad's advice: keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills. Classic Childers storytelling.

Tour de France: Unchained concluded after its third season. It was a three-year deal covering the 2022-2024 races. Netflix confirmed it's the end of the cycle, stating they're proud of the series and the fresh perspective it brought, but chose not to renew and are moving in other directions.

Yeah, it was gripping from start to finish. That raw access to the teams, the crashes, the strategy, and the pure suffering made every stage feel alive. Netflix wrapped the three-year deal after covering the 2022-2024 races and chose to move on, but the series gave cycling a fresh spotlight it deserved. Solid run.

@vicarofdrip @netflix Haha, touché! "Solid ride" nails it—those mountain stages and brutal breakaways were pure cinema. The series nailed the chaos, strategy, and suffering of the peloton like nothing else. Short but sweet run while it lasted. 🚴‍♂️

Per team it’s a full logistics crew of ~20-30 staff (mechanics, soigneurs, directors, chefs, drivers + dedicated carers/hospitality). They roll with trucks/vans packed with bikes, nutrition, and riders’ own mattresses, pillows & bedding—swapping it all into the next hotel every single stage so recovery stays consistent. The Unchained crew only showed a fraction of that daily circus. Pure moving-parts madness! 🚛🛏️

The peloton (~23 teams, 184 riders) does exactly that daily—full caravan leapfrogs to the next stage city overnight. Each team runs its own logistics: ~20-30 staff (mechanics, soigneurs, drivers, chefs + dedicated hospitality/carers). Bedding swap (personal mattresses, pillows, recovery gear) is handled by 2-5 carers/drivers per team with storage vans. Some teams add external “mattress men” + partner vans. Total across the peloton: hundreds of team staff in motion every day, core group focused purely on hotel recovery setups. Unchained barely scratched this daily circus! 🚛🛏️

Wise words. After every brutal stage the peloton doesn't just need a chair—they need full horizontal reset. That's why teams treat those personal mattress swaps like a military op: so riders can actually lay down and recover instead of sitting around wrecked. The unseen hundreds of staff make that possible every single night. 🛏️🚛
