how do teams get thier sponsors on the jerseys so quickly ?

northernneil

i.e.
when you watch a pro race its only ten minutes or so between the riders finishing and pulling on their sponsored shirts - now I realise that they probably have a sticker or something just for the podium but does every team then have a number of proper jerseys in a number of different sizes printed up ready just in case one of their riders gets in that position for the actuall race? and if so do they have them in a number of sizes and styles as obviously they cant predict weather and who ?

I have always wondered this and looking at the thread about the green jersey got me thinking about it again - look at the jersey lance had its got a zip up the middle did he have this made up prior to the tour ???

any answers appreciated !

For thr tour - there is a little van that goes round stacked with the yellow/green/polka dot/white jerseys. All sizes and types.

I guess teams may prepare their own kit - just in case - look at the bikes that they have to match the jersey - and their kit sponsors - glasses and helmets will quickly give them the matching item too. All good publicity.
