On the shoulders of the yellow jersey is somenthing, What is it? It
is in black script.

HR... the initials of the first director of le Tour, Henri Desgrange.
It used to be on every yellow jersey up until the early 1980s.
They brought it back as sort of a retro feature to this year's jersey.

if you are talking about what i think you are, you mean the letters 'HG'.
HG is honoring the founder of Le Tour, Henri Desgrange. i like the idea of
doing it for the 'Centenary' TDF, but you can hardly read it, so most people
miss the point. i wonder if that is a sample of Henri's handwriting, hmm ?

I thought it was HD, just in a very stylized script.

You are the first person (I saw) on RBR to get it right. I can't understand
why because others apparently knew they were his initials.
