Wearing yellow glasses when you're not in the yellow jersey - poor form.

But still not good, Bertie.
Cav wore Green glasses last year and Gilbert has been wearing a helmet in the Belgian colours.

Used to be that the defending champ would wear the yellow jersey on the prologue or first stage. Here's Delgado doing so at the prologue of the '89 Tour...
It was fairly standard practice and I think LA stopped it as he would ather earn the jersey but the organisers may have insisted. He also stopped wearing rainbow stripes on his sleeves for a while. I think UCI or race rules insist on certain things.
That was THE TT bike I lusted after back when I was a teenager and could not even dream about owning one
Pinarello, Campag, Delta's
I had the shoes though (still do), but in grey with red straps. Still perform pretty well and still worn, though not regularly
he looks a bit flustered in that photo!
Didn't Sky try and be cute at the 2010 race and send Wiggins out early at the prologue. In the rain!
They did....learnt the lesson that hard way that year that you can be too cute esp if your leader's so unfit 'he couldnt pull the foreskin off a rice pudding'
Mind you, Froome was airhead enough to ride the prologue this year with cotton plugs still stuck up his nose. And his overshoes on the wrong feet.

If Katy Price designed a bike, that is what it would look like .
Does that color have a name? Colon pink perhaps?

Whose feet did he put them on?
Shoulda kept the bar tape black........a touch too much yellow

Err...
That's not a BMC kit is it?
@gietvangent
Ahh, right. Sorry, I thought you meant he refused to wear any yellow kit (other than the jersey) through out his career. You meant just when he won in 2011. Think that photo is from the 2009 Tour.
Suppose he was young, can we forgive him for the pink shorts?
I could give you many examples of various people with the same tops and bibs. I could also give you a hundred photos of Contador in just the top.
I'd feel something of a hypocrite criticising that, being as how there's a picture of Gibo up the page in the pinkest of outfits and he can do no wrong.
