What is on the yellow 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 ? shawn |

I thought it was HD, just in a very stylized script. -- Ryan Cousineau, http://www.sfu.ca/~rcousine President, Fabrizio Mazzoleni Fan Club |
