Tour de France — You, in the Maillot Jaune

The maillot jaune register — Tour de France cyclist

This is you IN the race, not watching it. The tour de france cyclist pack puts your face on the rider — three classification jerseys, three moments: the golden-yellow maillot jaune climbing a high col through a corridor of fans, the white-and-red-dot maillot à pois alone in a dawn breakaway, and the plain green sprinter's jersey launching for the line at dusk. No sponsor lettering, no team branding — the plain colourway of each classification, the way the jersey itself reads at a glance.

Photoreal throughout. Every tile is built to look like a real press photograph shot trackside — hard alpine glare, cool dawn gorge light, floodlit dusk — not an illustration. The race runs men's and women's editions and the kit is identical across both, so gender and complexion vary across the nine scenes the way an international peloton actually does.

Worn seriously: this is effort, gradient, the last kilometre. Three jerseys, three registers, one rider's likeness running through all nine — climbing, breaking away, sprinting for the line.

How to photograph yourself for the Tour de France cyclist pack

Better source photos make better portraits. The pack works with imperfect inputs — the free preview tells you in seconds — but a few things help the likeness land.

1. Even, soft lightStand near a window, indirect daylight on your face. Skip overhead bulbs and phone flash — both flatten the face and the AI has to invent what it can't see.
2. Front or three-quarter angleEye level. No selfie-stick uplook, no overhead — a clean read on the face the way a trackside photographer would frame it.
3. Plain wall behind youA clean backdrop lets the AI focus on you instead of fighting a busy scene — it's replacing the background with the road anyway.
4. Show your face clearlyHair off the face, no big sunglasses, no cap brim shadowing the eyes. The likeness is built from what's visible.
5. One good photo beats five bad onesA single sharp, well-lit selfie outperforms a handful of dim ones. More varied angles sharpen the result slightly — but quality first.

Frequently asked questions

What does the result actually look like — a photo or a drawing?

A photo. All nine are photoreal — a real-looking trackside photograph of you racing, natural skin, real alpine and floodlight light. No illustration, no costume-shot flatness.

It's free — what do I actually get?

A free preview from your selfie in seconds, so you can judge the likeness before anything else. Then get all nine cyclist photos, free — three jerseys, three moments each.

Which jerseys are in the pack?

Three classification jerseys, unbranded: the golden-yellow maillot jaune (race leader), the white jersey with large red polka dots (climber, the maillot à pois), and a plain green sprinter's jersey. No sponsor lettering, no team kit.

Can I use these as my profile picture or on dating and social apps?

Yes — that's the point. The crops drop straight in as your profile picture on X, Instagram, WhatsApp, Discord or a dating profile. A trackside cycling photo reads as active and a little heroic — a real conversation starter.

Is this a good gift for a cyclist?

Yes — a proper cyclist photoshoot gift, and free to make. The photos are yours to print, frame or send. Make a set for the rider in your life.

Does it work for men and women?

Both. The race runs men's and women's editions and the classification kit is identical across both — upload your selfie and the pack puts you, man or woman, in the jersey. The likeness is built from your face.

What if I only have a casual or low-quality selfie?

The free preview tells you in seconds whether the likeness lands. If it doesn't, the prep tips above are the fastest fix — it's almost always lighting. One sharp, well-lit photo beats five dim ones.

How is this different from Midjourney or Stable Diffusion?

Those are general text-to-image tools — you'd need to write the prompt, fight for your own likeness, and you'd usually get a generic face that isn't you. This pack is built for one job: turning your selfie into nine consistent racing photos that actually look like you, across three jerseys and nine designed moments, free.

Is this pack about racing, or watching from the roadside?

Racing — this pack puts you on the bike in the jersey, not on the barrier. If you want to see yourself as a fan watching the race go by, that's the separate roadside supporter pack.

Is any of this officially licensed by the race or a team?

No — unbranded on purpose. Plain classification colourways, no sponsor wordmarks, no team kit, no real rider likeness used as reference. It's about you as a rider, not a licensed product.

About narcis

Most AI portrait tools ship every pose, profession, era, and aesthetic in one giant catalog. The output looks like every other AI photo on the internet — a glaze over a stock face. Narcis goes the other way. One tool, one job: turn photos of you into portraits worth keeping. Drop a selfie and your free preview streams in seconds — a quick sketch: close, not you yet. For portraits that are truly you, train your own model on 12 to 20 photos; it trains in the background, and we email you when it is ready. Train once, render everywhere — this pack, every other pack, and the Studio all come out of that one model, about ten seconds a portrait, and it stays yours to retrain or delete. Each pack is hand-curated against actual references — paintings, photographers, registers — and tested on real faces before it ships. See a free preview before you pay, not after. Packs are one-time — no subscription to buy one; Studio, the unlimited composer, is optional at €12/month and every pack includes 30 days of it. No template generator. Built and run by one team, on our own infrastructure.
