When Alberto Contador's dislocated shoulder prevented him from wearing the pink jersey on the podium after his crash at the finish on stage 6, the tailor normally in charge of pressing the team logo on the presentation jerseys sprang into action to make sure he would be able to wear the official race jersey the next day.
[Claudio] Castellano, a jovial Napolitano normally in charge of pressing the correct sponsor logos onto leader’s jerseys bound for the podium ceremony, spent four hours Thursday evening ensuring that Contador would be able to easily slip in and out of the maglia rosa.
This is the Tour of Italy after all, where fashion leads ahead of function and form.
