Cunego’s New Hair Color

Damiano Cunego is probably the first of the second tier favorites for the Tour. Cadel Evans and Alejandro Valverde are probably the top favorites. Judging from Cunego’s new hair color, perhaps he has some pretty elaborate intentions? Riders since the late 90s started wearing matching shorts, gloves, helmets and bikes colored yellow when they donned the jersey. Marco Pantani decided to give his goatee a bleaching to match the new piece of wardrobe. Now Cunego gets his hair ready just in case he dons the Yellow somewhere around mid-July. Is this motivation or overconfidence or is he simply getting into the festive Tour mood. We’ll see in about three weeks if his darker roots are showing or if he decides to keep the look at that time.
