After taking the maillot pois today, David Millar accomplished a fairly rare Tour de France feat - he has now worn each of the race's four leaders' jerseys. He wore yellow after his prologue win in 2000, spent several days in white in 2002, got green as a consolation prize after his chain fell off in 2003, and then picked up the spots today.
While he never lead the points competition (he was baby-sitting the maillot vert while McGee wore yellow), when he takes to the road tomorrow, Millar will be the only rider I can think of to have actually raced at least one day in each jersey. Did Jalabert ever wear white? Or did Eddy Merckx slip into the KOM lead sometime after the spotted jersey's introduction in 1975?
