Alternate USPS Jersey?

[brian roth]

Now am I seeing things, or was Lance and George wearing
a jersey that differed from those of the rest of the team?

Darker blue, no logos on the sleeves, and larger red vent
panels.

It looked to me like at least some of the USPS riders had almost
translucent blue panels on the panels behind the shoulder. Whether this
was what happens to the standard jersey when they sweat, or this was a
special mountain (or hot weather) jersey, I don't know.

But I sure wouldn't be surprised to find out that they get to pick from
five different kits in the morning (TT suit, hot weather, standard, cold
weather, special third jersey?)

Yep.
There was a report on their 'mountains jersey' bike Nike on
cyclingnews.com in the past couple days. Ultra light and breathable.
That thing looked really weird on tv - looked pretty flimsy too.

Pena was wearing a yellow one.
