Pinch Flat Poll #125! NOT suitable for framing!

Few people realize that a yellow-jersey winner at the TDF typically brings home dozens and dozens of maillot jeunes (meillot jeunex? ), most of them never worn nor even touched by the cyclist himself, but used for all kinds of ceremonial purposes. Like stoking the egos of fat corporate executives at T-Mobile and Phonak.

Now that Floyd has been, uh, discharged as the 2006 TDF champion, what will happen to all those yellow jerseys?
