    The world champ doesn't get to wear his/her jersey at the race so it's unlikely to cause any confusion really.
    Scottish and British...and a bit French

    Just make the stripes upside down compared to the WC stripes and you'll get away with it.
    The Union Jack gets flown and shows upside down all the time (the top right diagonal red stripe should have thicker white below it than above it)

    At the top right ?

    Actually, the broader diagonal white stripe should be at the top on the side of the flag nearest the flagpole, which will be on the right or the left, depending where you're standing and which way the wind is blowing !

    Glad someone knows the right way to fly it unlike a lot of fans in Copenhagen. They obviously weren't in Guides or Scouts or Brigades various.
