The Yellow Bib
Just like in the Tour de France, so too on the World Cup ski circuit ... the overall leader wears a yellow bib. Of course, unlike cycling in biathlon this has never involved an American, that is up until now. As you can see in the picture Saranac Lake native Tim Burke, is now wearing the yellow bib, a first for an American. (As an aside, I remember him as a four year-old racing in the Bill Koch lollipop division.) Click on this text to access an interview with him.
