So I did some homework at school today:
The yellow jersey is worn by the race leader.
The green jersey represents the best sprinter.
The polka dot jersey (yes it really is polka dotted!) is worn by the best climber, or the racer who does best in the mountains.
The white jersey is worn by the highest-ranked rider in the competion age 25 or younger.
I added the blue jersey because if I had to choose team colors I would choose blue.
These snails wanted to get into the race so they jumped on a spare bike tire and are spinning their little hearts out. Can you tell by the color of their shells who's winning?

The snails on the wheel go round, round, round,
The snails on the wheel go round, round, round,
The snails on the wheel go round, round, round,
All through France.
Wonderfully creative, I love it .

Hey, Sabrina stole my poem! Not really!!! Snort!
Good Morning! Here I am all bright eyed and bushy tailed after sleeping through that last leg of the stage! Did we win??
OMG! Lorraine, you never cease to please! This is the most creative and fun little card! I love these snails in their jerseys. Good job doing your research! I think the addition of the blue jersey should be added to the Tour next year. Lets go and find the big shot in charge! What should we tell him, Blue Jersey is the quy that kills the fewest snails? Yeah, that would be great! Although there might be lots of crashes with guys trying to dodge snails along the way!
I love the googlie eyes, the fun spokes on your wheel and of course your never ending creativity! This card just rocks! Four snails on a uni-cycle! The Tour de France has never seen the likes of that!
Hey you! Get those camera crews out of our way.....haven't you ever seen prize winning snails on a uni-cycle before? Hold on, I will ask her...Lorraine, do you wanna do an interview now or later????

I have to say that you had me at blue! It's my favourite colour you know. Love the bold and bright colours, so cheery!
I especially love that you could join us overseas in France! Those googlie eyes got me too, how sweet, there must be one snail in there that can become a husband to our lonely Sabine, whose only joy in life is trailing Lilette from work now and then. Now make a snail smile and let's introduce her to your team! LOL TFS

I am impressed! You did research. I bet these are designer shirts ordered from some French house of fashion. Right?! Love the google eyes and wheel spoke.
