Black jersey comes back to Giro!

[Crankyfeet]

I think that is a good point and the reason they should have the jersey. Suffering and struggle is a part of aerobic endurance sport. The man who is barely hanging in there should be celebrated. The jersey makes it easier for commentators to talk about him.

Which assumes that the person who is in the jersey is struggling...and not just holding back deliberately to get some publicity for his team.

Given the amount of deliberate limping that goes on in stages where a particular domestique is not required...you can't convince me that the jersey holder will be just "hanging on" in the race. More like "hangin on" to the TV camera....
