thank you so much for your quick reply, ed073!

for the first question, is it a privilege to wear a different color jersey or is it a requirement to do so if you are your country's national champion? in other words, do other riders who are national champions have to wear their own color jerseys?

are you from melbourne? it is a nice city to ride bicycle in!

i visited my friend in melbroune this february. he is from mount eliza in mornington peninsula. there are many friendly bikers there
