As far as I know, there has only been one rider that took off ALL his
clothes, with a subsequent win (PIR)...

It got hung up in the front wheel and the dude went down taking what
sounded like 5 or 6 more with him. Kim Kirchen style. No numbers pinned
on it is my guess as to why it had to come off that close to the finish.
Even if I am completely wrong about the events, no matter.

TO THE BACK. If that wont work because you absolutely must set up your
team leader for the win then wear it.

vest can't make it another second on your back, or because you didn't
want to pay for another set of numbers. I have no idea how much they
cost, but certainly they are cheeper than any part on your bike that
would get destroyed in the crash.
