Just to prove that I am paying attention to the Tour (at least today) I noticed the rider wearing the rainbow jersey. Huh? Never heard of it.
Fabian Cancellara is apparently the only person entitled to wear it for the time trials as the reigning world champion time trialer, and he may have just won the first time trial. The Rainbow Jersey is worn during road stages by the reigning world champion road racer.
And there you have it -- a TdF update. On the knitting front, the first 12 rows on the back of the vest are done.

Thanks for posting that! I'd forgotten about it.
Now see, if it wasn't for you, I would probably have never known that. Thanks!
I didn't know that before but it makes sense. The riders who hold the time trial championships for their nation also can wear a special national-colours jersey on time trial days (we're always proud of robbie in his green and gold!)
