Saint Sebastian looks BEAUTIFUL

It's like a mini Rio

Dumb question....
After Yates and Yates finish on Stage one, tgey both rock-up on the start-line in fully logo'd up yellow and green skinsuits. How do they get them so quickly? Each team can't have a different colour skinsuit for each team member just in case?

The race organisers provide the skinsuits.

We often hear about this when there's a TT and its a disadvantage for the race leader because they have to wear the race organiser's suit made out of baggy hessian rather than their own multi million aerodynamic suit.

So I guess that they keep an array of sizes then just need to iron on the appropriate team sponsor logos.

Used to be a bloke in the back of a van would make them up with the team name on ?
Either that or they send someone on a bike to the local Decathlon to pick one up...there pretty nippy on those bikes.

I’m sure team Sky had their own yellow skin suits for Wiggins and Froome.
 
Noticed all the riders in the peloton seem to be wearing white shoes this year.

Yes very fashionable. I think pog was complaining about how dirty his shoes got yesterday to Adam Yates. And he's down to his last pair of white socks too.

I'm sticking with black shoes myself.
