In May at the Giro a short stage ended in a bunch sprint. Mark Cavendish was the beneficiary as he pulled on his first Paul Smith maglia rosa for a third stint in pink. The Manx man was one of five riders to wear the leaders jersey at the Giro which has set a trend in 2013. Although Ryder Hesjedal as defending champion at the Giro wore the pink jersey on the first stage, this is about jerseys as won on the road.
At the 2012 Giro five riders had the pleasure of making their way to the podium to pull on the pink fleece. At the 2012 Tour there was just one change in the maillot jaune as Fabian Cancellara and Bradley Wiggins racked up the plush lions toys for their kids.
At the Vuelta there were four red jersey wearers with the first jersey wearer of the race, Jonathan Castroviejo the odd one out. He was the only rider to have worn red and not finished on the podium.
