One of the things that stands out in any Tour de France – or indeed any of the three Grand Tours – is the clothing that the riders wear. As the tournaments progress, you get to know the teams that you like by the racing colors of the cycle shirts they wear, and many people are fond of the idea of getting their hands on a shirt representing their favorite team. Like with other sports, colors do change slightly from year to year, and of course the sponsors are changing all the time, as last year’s ones drop out and new support appears from elsewhere. So it is usually a great decision to buy a Pro Team Cycling Jersey for a year when your team did well.
There are a lot of established teams on the Tours these days, but often a completely new team will show up, with a brand new set of riders. This always makes the race very interesting in the early Stages as you try to figure out which team is wearing which colors this year. Mainly, though it is the big well-known ones that take most of the honors in the racing, with fantastic strategies and set ups. For 2010, the Tour de France saw the light blue and yellow cycling shirts of the Astana Team grab the limelight, with powerful front riders such as Vinokourov and Navarro, who did magnificent jobs pace setting the eventual Yellow Jersey Winner, Contador, especially in the mountains.
But for most people who watch the Tour de France, the uniform of the American rider Lance Armstrong who won the Tour an amazing seven consecutive times, and who rode his last one in 2010 in the Team RadioShack colors. Here is some kit you can get your hands on yourself!
