National Champs Jerseys
Not exactly a Tour-centric question, but why don't some of the National Champions have their country's flag plastered all over their jerseys as in past?
I thought being the current national champion meant you were supposed to stand out.
Leopard-Trek have totally minimalised the Luxembourg and Swiss jerseys, Movistar have continued to make the current champion look like a former champion (a la Valverde in 2008) and the Russian champion's jersey has been similarly vandalised like Pozzato's abomination of an Italian champion's jersey was in 2009.
Does anyone know why?
