Jersey question
Quote | Reply
Hi everybody. I have a question about the jerseys. When a rider wins the yellow, how do they get the sponsors on the jersey before the winner gets on the poduim? Silly questions but I swear it keeps me up at night....

behind the little podium, back where the podium girls are taking their clothes off, there is an ironing board, where they iron the logos onto the blank jersey right after every stage...

...or so i've heard

...about the naked girls that is

Last year on OLN TV they had a feature on the guy who prints up all the jerseys. He has a mobile printing truck and they pre-make all the shirts for each team in a number of sizes plus they make up special presentation jerseys that zip up the back just for the awards ceremony. After the stage, at night, they print the sponsors names on special colored jerseys for the next day's race.

As we're on the subject of Tour minutae, can anyone explain to me how the timing is done - is there a tri-style chip system, (and if so how does this cope with mass pack finishes?) or is it something simpler? Cheers.
