Brillance
Got to hand it to George and Bruyneel today. What an awesome move. But, it makes me wonder why George was so anxious to get the jersey this early in the Tour. Is this a lack of confidence with his overall GC aspirations? Ah...who cares, good move and enjoy the jersey.
Watch out for little green hands.

what is pmu anyway?
not sure what the acronym stands for but it is a horse betting company that sponsors the green jersey
The Green Jersey is the PMU sponsor's predominant colour: Green. PMU = PariMUtuel ...and as Flandria said it's betting on horse races
gotta remember, George has been very close to the jersey before. it's a huge deal to have it on your shoulders and goes a big way in giving him legitimacy towards his GC contentions.
Georgey, more than all the other Americans, knows what it takes to ride the Tour. The pressures, the leadership responsibilities, the dangers of the later stages...
he was climbing with the best last year.
he's got the strongest team this year.
again, i think this year's Tour will come down to who has the bad day. The REALLY bad day, you know?
Levi has a very good chance. Moreau actually might, too. Crazy. But, of all of them ... George has been through the Tour's hell the most.
just never with the weight of the jersey on his shoulders.
what a spectacle this year will be.
i love it.
i am not sure why he wants the jersey on stage 2...if he did get the yellow, Disco boys will have to work earlier in the tour...
watch out for Valverde...he is in the top 5 and low key...last year Armstrong was surprised of how strong Valverde was - unfortunately tendonitis made him drop out of the tour. This year, with his wins Fleche Malone and Liege, it shows that he is on form...
two Americans that I would love to see be up there on podium is Floyd and Julich...because they are Americans and because they are humble and have many challenges in their racing career over the years that they deserve it...
