I have lurked on this group for years and enjoyed the conversations
and arguments, but I have a burning question that is finally requiring
ME to post.
After each stage in a major race, the current GC leader is given a
jersey of appropriate color with his team logo on it. In le Tour,
this jersey is long-sleeved. However, in many of the stages the next
day, the leader is wearing a short-sleeved leader's jersey. I am
wondering if the sleeves zip off, or if the leader is actually given
two jerseys, long and short sleeved? And how about that team logo?
Surely the race organizers don't produce enough yellow jerseys just in
case any given team wins. That seems like a horrible expense to the
sponsors. Instead, I have visions of a little French dude, set up
with an iron, ironing board, and heat transfers of each team logo, all
set to furiously iron a team logo onto the winner's jersey in time for
the podium babes to zip it onto the winner. Does anyone know?
Sorry for the stupidity, but this inquiring mind wants to know!
