I think it all started with Laurent Jalabert's polka-dot Look that he got on his last trip to Paris. Hell, even Tom Boonen was wearing a special helmet and crap like that when he was wearing yellow... Robbie McEwen also has a green bike waiting, but I haven't seen him actually ride it yet. He said one morning that he was happy with how his current bike was riding.
Whatever. If each team wants to spend the cash to have a yellow bike and yellow kit handy just in case, let 'em. And while Flandis's yellow bike is an insanely cool rendition of what is already my dream bike, it seems a little excessive.

Excessive? Excessive schmessive, I say. If I had earned it, I'd ride it too. Anyway, its good advertising for the tour, makes it a little more fun for the rest of us to watch. "Oooh, is so-and-so going to ride a special bike today? Oooohh!"
