He's still warming up--you'll see it.

But he’s already in yellow. And red. The whole effect once we see the jersey is going to be colorful indeed.

Love Alberto's blue glasses!

I think on any other rider the kit being so yellow would look hideous but he can pull that off.
Nothing like LL Sanchez’s!

Phil & Paul's screw-ups of the day:

1. Astana’s lead man Carlos Sastre [sic] riding late in the prologue.

2. Andy and Tony as former [sic] team-mates.
