Tour Tidbit du Jour - 7/3/2011
The national cycling champions of their respective nations get to wear special racing jerseys incorporating their flags' colors. The designs have no standards, usually based on their teams' kit and logo placements. Rarely, a nation's cycling governing body will not approve a rider's team kit, as happened to Filippo Pozzato when Italy refused to sign off on his Katusha team's design in 2009. In the Team Time Trial at the Tour de France, the U.S. national time trial champion, David Zabriskie riding for Garmin-Cervelo, wore his new Captain America suit. There were no objections from U.S. Cycling, I'm sure.
