Cavendish has got the wrong Colour!

The best thing about the first stage in any tour, Grand or otherwise is the randomness of who claims the leader’s jersey, because, someone’s got to do it.

In the Tour of Britain Mark Cavendish through a trademark sprint at the assistance of teammate Aussie Mark Renshaw has put on the yellow.

Still looks better in green though.

Most of the time random riders get the leaders jersey for the fact the main contenders don’t want it until the time is ready (i.e. last few days, or last week in the three week races).

In that first week, sure watching the race means to look at the scenery, the actual racing but for me it is also to see other riders normally obscured by the bright bulbs of light shining on the big stars, have a time to shine.

So when you watch another cycling race, make sure those first days or first week is seen, you might just become a fan of someone who isn’t a big star... yet.
