To comply with rbr standards, you're supposed to put the whole podium in

Van Huffel was riding to move up to 14th on GC - that's very
important, you know.

Looking at the stage maps on cyclingnews, like

http://www.cyclingnews.com/road/2005/jun05/dauphinelibere05/?id=stages/dauphinelibere055

aside from the regrettable outbreak of Comic Sans font
(http://www.bancomicsans.com), there is one of those completely
mysterious Euro mascot creatures. It isn't on the official
criterium.ledauphine.com site, and I think it belongs to Bison Fute'.
Do any of our French correspondents know what it is?
I can't tell if it's supposed to be a bunny, an American Indian,
or an American Indian bunny.

Yes. See http://www.criterium.ledauphine.com/criterium05/etape.php
(and link to 'infos route criterium'😉.

I think it's supposed to be an American Indian andouillette.

Judging from the race facts, it was an investment day from Van Huffel's
side.

It looks like an American Indian mole (not of the CIA variety, either).

Bison Futé is the mascot of the traffic planning/monitoring office (has
been so since the late seventies with a hiatus in the nineties). Mostly
gives advice regarding itinerary and departure time for heavy traffic
days.

I wonder where he'll end on sunday. Saturday's stage will be very much
suited to come closer at or enter the top10. The last Belgian who did
so was Luc Roosen in 1986 (8th). I hope they don't take Van Huffel to
the Tour. Seems to me they're already squeezing him like a lemon.

Yeah, one would hope that Davitamon-Lotto would be smart enough to not
use the guy completely up in his first really good year. Plan for the
future... He has shown a lot of promise this year.
