Default The Yellow Jacket

On the Tour De France bicycle race, each day the person who is leading the race at that point gets to wear the yellow jacket for the day. It's quite an honor.

Has anyone noticed Ellis' yellow wing? At the conclusion of Southport A - 2, Stafford realized he had the Championship, regardless of the outcome of A - 3, so he put on the yellow wing, symbolic of the leader, and you see it in pix of A - 3 and following the race.

I think it's a major idea, that it should carry forward. Whoever is leading in the Championship should wear a yellow wing. Last year's Champ starts out with it at the first race, then it changes from there.

Kind of an unofficial, fun thing.

Any comments?
