German electronic group [[Kraftwerk]] composed "[[Tour de France (song)|Tour de France]]" in 1983&nbsp;– described as a minimalistic "melding of man and machine"<ref name="kraftwerk">Chris Jones, [https://www.bbc.co.uk/music/classicpop/reviews/kraftwerk_france.shtml Kraftwerk, Tour De France Soundtracks] ({{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060623184431/http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/classicpop/reviews/kraftwerk_france.shtml |date=23 June 2006}}), BBC, 4 August 2003.</ref>&nbsp;– and produced an album ''[[Tour de France Soundtracks]]'' in 2003, the centenary of the Tour.

From 2011 to 2015, American [[letterpress]] studio [[Lead Graffiti]] experimented with handset wood and [[metal type]] to print same-day posters documenting events of each stage of the Tour de France.

A 2013 article on the poster series appeared in ''[[Sports Illustrated]]'' magazine's "Sports in Media" issue.<ref>{{cite news | first=Alexander | last=Wolff | title=Tour de Lead Graffiti | work=Sports Illustrated | date=16 December 2013}}</ref> In 2014 the [[British Library]] celebrated the Tour's fourth ''[[Grand Départ]]'' from the  U.K. with an exhibition of ''Tour de Lead Graffiti'' posters.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://blogs.bl.uk/americas/2014/07/tour-de-lead-graffiti-23-posters-in-23-days.html | title=Tour de Lead Graffiti: 23 posters in 23 days }}</ref>
