Sure, if you're a time trial champion, you get a championship skinsuit, because skinsuits are for time trials and track cycling.So, Küng would still be allowed to have a championship skinsuit?

But Démare is a sprinter and if there is one place where they come in handy it should be in sprints where aerodynamics have even greater importance than in time trials. I'm not advocating that riders should begin riding nice mountains like Fedaia or La Planche des Belles Filles in skinsuits but not going for that advantage in a sprint would be daft.Sure, but the traditional jersey / bibs combo was designed around the requirements of road racing and still serves that function well. Eating and drinking and so forth are still a requirement. Aerodynamics apply in road races, but the TT helmets, aero bars and disc wheels don't get trotted out for a 180km road stage (and several elements of those have been legislated against), and I don't feel that skinsuits should either. The aero lids fad seems to have died down a lot, that might have been aesthetic or the benefit may have been too small, I don't know. The skinsuits definitely fail from an aesthetic point of view, especially the ones that result in deformed tricolour jerseys.
If you want to wear a skinsuit for a crit type event like the Cancer Council Classic where endurance isn't as much of a factor that's one thing, but I don't see it as having a place in classics or full road stages.
They do have the skinsuits-with-pockets option. And I suppose a sprinter could appoint a domestique as "designated food carrier".But of course with them having no pockets they're not exactly practical.
Maybe hire János Pelikán. He sounds like one who can carry all the other riders' necessities in his mouth while still wearing a skinsuit. The perfect domestique.They do have the skinsuits-with-pockets option. And I suppose a sprinter could appoint a domestique as "designated food carrier".
According to Wikipedia both are acceptable and the sky blue is used by the government at timesTo fit with the Movistar logo azure/celeste they took the old flag of Puerto Rico instead of the one in use now.

Maybe i'm pedantic but for me that's a big difference.
