Tour history

As the history of the Tour de France is rewritten (with Lance Armstrong's seven wins deleted from the record by the USADA) here is an object representing my personal history with Le Tour. Back in the day, following the success of several seasons of Fantasy Football when the craze was at its height in the 1990s, a few of us organised a Fantasy Tour towards the end of the decade. This is the 'Yellow Jersey' (yes, appalling pun) awarded to the winner. Not sure which year's victory this represents - there is a label on the plinth for 1998 but at this distance, and without the records to hand I can't be sure if this was the year I 'won' or if the trophy was re-presented in subsequent years.
An indoor, 'archive object' blip today as (a) the weather has been poor and (b) we spent most of it organising and working on the house.
