After their reign as world champion is over ex-title holders are entitled to have the rainbow stripes on the collar and cuffs of their team jerseys. We believe this tradition was started by Tom Simpson. He was road race world champion in 1965, and in June 1967, just weeks before his death, Simpson started racing in a Peugeot team jersey with rainbow strips on the collar and cuffs. We cant find any photographic evidence of any ex-world champion doing this before Simpson. This Peugeot jersey is a replica of the one Simpson wore.
