    For someone with a clear extravagance in trouser wearing his choice of footwear is somewhat disappointing. He's either wearing some green converse imitations or a battered pair of Adidas shoes made especially for Decathlon and sold for €25.

    More effort please Stefano.

    I agree wholeheartedly with this. As a 41 year old man who holds a position of significant responsibility within the Eurosport operation (check his LinkedIn profile), he should be sporting something much better than this relaxed footwear. THIS IS THE TOUR DE FRANCE! FOR GOD'S SAKES MAN, GET A GRIP!!!

    I can certainly see him in a stylish pair of brogues or, if he prefers a more casual approach, a leather deck shoe in navy or traditional conker brown. I fear that he has fallen into the same trap as many men over the age of 35 of dressing in a manner too young for his age. When I lived in Brighton the place was crawling with fathers in their early 40's wearing T-shirts with slogans, ripped jeans with writing on them and Adidas Gazelle training shoes. It's a pathetic sight, I can tell you, as they desperately try to hold on to their youth as their hairlines recede.

    Stefano, I beg you. Please invest in real shoes before the end of the Tour. You are a man

    Agreed, despite the opportunities for buying decent clothes, Brighton is indeed full of scruffy men children.
    As for Stefano, a pair of drivers would be suitable with those cotton, casual jackets.

    Maybe he's trying to camouflage his legs?

    Stick with me for a moment...

    A sensible navy blue for stage 1. Anything bolder would have scared this Cardiff man (Disguising himself as Greg's seat tube)

    Stage 2 where he sported Army Green to meet a German (Disguised as the grass)

    Nothing from stage 4, but for the cobbles it was a suitable brown (Matching the stones)

    Shame he's not on twitter, we could tweet him the thread!

    To compliment his colourful trousers and to go full 'Dutch' he should have a few pairs of these:

    Well spotted!
    Orange today, I understand. Missed the first section of LeMond on Tour but will try to stay awake for the wrap show...

    Forget the slacks - is that really a microphone, or the long-awaited renaissance of the furry codpiece?

    Our yellow slacked hero is currently lounging on a McCain bike powered vehicle in the style of the star of a men's special interest magazine (I imagine)

    Lemond is carrying a bit of timber these days - but his arms look huge for a cyclist

    Not being a regular LeMond on Tour viewer I didn't recognise Vincent Barteau. Bernabino is the most trim (trimmest?) of the 3, I hope the skinny lads they're interviewing are taking note.

    They are the best ones yet. Like a pair of bananas.

    I was thinking it looked like Lemond had been working on the guns, it might be just this picture though.
