Tucking in your jersey
I know it's been covered before, but today's stage 5 winner, Mark Cavendish, tucks it in. Makes it hard to wear bibs (favorite of all of my cycling apparel). Perhaps weight weenie? You would think, but not with those Pcad-esque socks. Not as baggy, but certainly as tall as Michael Cooper's socks when he played for the 80's Lakers.
Posted here because, although it is a TDF image, tucking in your jersey has been covered in this forum. Ok for racers, but not for the everyman?
Discuss.

For one some of us have busy schedules and don't get to come straight home and turn on Le Tour. Plus considering your thread title didn't even reference the race.
I am sure some even get a day behind (GASP) due to family work etc.

Cavendish's wearing a full zip. i can see his zipper at the bottom of his jersey. he doesn't tuck. in fact, no one should. your pockets would be limited...

It's like that Seinfeld when Jerry recorded the Mets game he missed, only to have Kramer blow it during the first inning.

Looks like he's wearing bibs. Those jersey's have a black waist. Check it:

My bad, but it still looks tucked with the wrinkles by the waistline. No biggie, but even me, a certified card-carrying Fred would think it weird to tuck in a jersey.

Yeah, tucking would just be silly considering the pocket issue.
That aside, what a killer win today!
Yeah, next time just put TDF spoiler in the thread title. For some reason this year my work schedule allows me to see the VS live, and replay, at least twice a day.

The only time I thought it was a good idea to tuck was when my team only offered as small as an adult S jersey and my brother was 75 lb. Even he knew it looked dorky, but it was better than dragging a parachute behind him.

Gert Boyle threatened to kick his ass if he didn't.
Between the two of them, it's a toss up who has better tickets to the Gun Show.

I didn't have the luxury of reading your subsequent comments apologizing for your blunder before reading the first sentence of your original post, spoiling the stage results. You could have gone back and edited your post to remove the spoiler. Even after it was pointed out to you, you continued to argue about it. Yes, you are a moron. No, I am not 9 years old.
