Should Cadel Evans wear the yellow jersey on day #1 of the Tour de France?

Question

The defending champ (Alberto Contador) usually wears yellow on Day 1, but his team wasn't invited to the tour this year. Evans was runner up.

Answer 1

He will wear No. 1, but not the yellow.  Only the years previous winner wears that.

Answer 2

unless Contador and Team Astana receive/accept an eleventh hour invite, there will be no Yellow Jersey worn on day one of the 2008 TdF. to actually answer your question: Should Cadel Evans wear the yellow jersey on day #1 of the Tour de France? no. he hasn't earned it..

Answer 3

No one wears the yellow jersey on the first day. The race leader wears yellow and on the first day everyone has the same time (zero seconds).

Last year's winner wears the number one dossard. If that person is not there then the honor usually goes to someone on the same team. I'm not sure what will happen this year since the whole team is absent. It seems possible there will be no number one.

Answer 4

he should wear it on the day 0 of the event
