Pick one !

All the way to the right

The one in the middle.

I remember trying to stick with that one as it was being driven by Phil Anderson around Santa Barbara; I didn't have the legs to stick on the climbs and even him probably taking it easy on the trickier descents was too muh for me.  He had, for some reason, BioPace chainrings on the bike.  When I asked him about them messing up his pedal sroke, he just shrugged his shoulders.  

That's just cruel.

Steel is real, the classic all day.

The right hand corner caused tons of issues in the race ,

I'm surprised he doesn't get rainbow armbands on the yellow jersey. Guess I never noticed leader jersey's don't always have those.

Wait is it the team or the race organizers who have to provide leaders jerseys?

Race organizers.  I've always wondered how they're able to turnaround those jerseys so quickly.

I thought you were joking.

So the points leaders have to deal with kit they're not familiar with or do they kit sponsors provide yellow versions of their kit for this guy to add logos to?

I realize I'm being annoyingly pedantic about stuff I can google myself.

It’s really bad: it’s sponsored by clothing brands, so the yellow jersey in the tour is made by Santini.

that means that the very special extra efficient wind tunnel tested jerseys teams make for time trials are hardly ever used by guys like Vingo or Pogacar: they’re always in white or yellow. 

WOW that is wild, I never realized all the points kits were Santini especially for stuff like TT skinsuits. The fit on Jonas below looks pretty good, but imagine spending an entire season training in one kit and then having to swap it during the most important race of the year.

@LennartZandbergen @David Yang

From what I've read, Santini has tailors in the Tour entourage and do fittings the day before time trials.  Not sure about the daily jerseys.  I'd think they also do it for the Vuelta and CAstelli does it for the Giro.  Romandie, probably not so much.  


Not sure about the matching shorts for the road stages.  I think the riders are given a choice of chamois.

I recall hearing around the tour this year that Santini had made some efforts to improve the skin suit for the TT so whoever wore the leader jerseys weren’t thrown off by the gear change. I think they even had Jonas or Tadej sampling them earlier in the year? Maybe misremembering that part but I think the world feed talked about it at the time

There have also been instances where the team or rider clothing sponsor has shown up with a leader's (yellow jersey, or green or whatever) skinsuit tailor made for the rider, and get special permission to use it. 

But yeas, as aero has become the headline this has been a controversial topic, as sponsors of riders favorited to win the grand tours spent money and effort on tailored special shape and materials for the TT skinsuits and then they take the rider takes the lead and has to wear clothing that is not as fast.

I forget exactly when or who, but also kinda remember the press discussing/speculating whether Pogi or Vingo would let go of the race lead before a TT, ideally to a breakaway, so they could then wear the more aero skinsuit and be competitive against the other favorites.
