A Lance Armstrong Race Used Discovery TDF Yellow Jersey

{A Lance Armstrong Race Issued/Used Team Discovery 2005 Tour de France Yellow Jacket}

{Up for auction}  American Cyclist, and 7-time Tour de France Winner Lance Armstrong's personally race issued/used Team Discovery 2005 Tour de France Yellow Jacket.  This garment was produced by Nike exclusively for the Tour de France, provided to the Tour Organising Committee (ASO) and eventually issued to Lance in his daily Yellow Overall Leader's Race Kit.  The garment was on hand on the team bus during the 2005 Tour de France, provided to Lance during an unknown stage in his daily race kit.  Please note, this garment is not described as having been worn during an actual stage race, but was on-hand in Lance's daily race kit and would have potentially been worn during warm-ups or warm-down routines.  This is a truly unique opportunity to obtain one of Lance Armstrong's personal garments from his 7th consecutive Tour de France victory.

This style of garment was never made available to the public as a retail/replica version, and the jersey itself is basically entirely self-authenticating.  Actual Tour de France Rider Garments are incredibly rare, and a Yellow Leader's garment is perhaps the most sought after symbol in the sport.  This garment was engineered by Nike specifically for the riders of the Tour, designed entirely for performance at the highest level.  This particular wind/rain jacket was provided to Lance as a part of his daily race kit as the overall leader of the Tour de France.  The garment was provided to the Tour Organizing Committee (ASO) by Nike, who provided the garment with Armstrong's Team Discovery Sponsor Logos to Armstrong during the 2005 Tour de France.   It's a long standing tradition, and the ASO handles all of the distribution of the appropriate garments to the riders at the top of each Race Classification Category.  Further details on this process are available at request.  The garment is sized appropriately (Small) for Armstrong.  The jackets and vests were provided to Lance in smaller sizes becuase they fit larger compared to the standard jerseys.  Made in Italy.
