Is It OK For Amateurs To Ride In The Rainbow Stripes?

Think the right to wear the rainbow jersey is sacrosanct on the pro circuit. But seeing the average Joe is just enjoying himself and paying homage to the great sport while promoting its image then leave them to it. Chris Higson

Yep. I wear a retro Peugeot one. Growing up in the 80s I was a massive fan of Tommy Simpson having read about him and it’s my small way of honouring his memory. Anthony Rishton

Absolutely not. You have to earn those stripes. I’m fine with people wearing the kit of their favourite team. I’m a big fan of retro kit too. Champions’ jerseys, classification jerseys etc have to be earned though. David Fuller
