According to Wikipedia:

The "King of the Mountains" wears a white jersey with red dots (maillot à pois rouges), referred to as the "polka dot jersey".

Bare skin is slicker than hairy skin, so shaving arms and legs will reduce air drag by a tiny amount for a cyclist.

Shaving one's legs does not actually reduce the aerodynamic resistance on one's body. It is, however, advantageous in the treatment of cuts and scrapes ("road rash"), reducing the amount of dirt stuck to one's legs, as well as keeping one's legs cooler then if they were hair covered. Mountain bikers may shave for said benefits as well as greatly reducing the chance of attracting ticks.

Regardless of quantifiable benefits, leg shaving has been shown to produce significant placebo effects, that is, a cyclist with shaved legs tends to perform better simply because he believes he has a significant advantage.

Overall leader on time wears the Yellow jersey - the "Maillot Jaune".

Green Jersey is for the leader in points.

Red polka dots indicate the "King of the Mountains" Climbs are rated in points according to difficulty and finishing place.

White jersey indicates the best rider under 25 (as of January 1st of that year)

Tour de Singkarak was created in 2009.

There's no meaning - its an accidental or deliberate mis-spelling of psychology.

When its misspelt deliberately, this is usually to convey a link to cycling.

One example, is the website cycology , using the domain cycolo.gy, which is a social network for cyclists.

Laurent Jalabert won the polka dot jersey (maillot Ã? pois rouges) in 2002.

The Peloton

It's the polka dot jersey, white with red dots. It's awarded to the "king of the mountains", the rider who has been fastest uphill.

There is a Schwinn 684 aluminum road bike, made in the 90s. Oakley 684 is a pair of goggles.

No.

The legs arecalled "stages" in English, "étapes" in French.

The Giro d'Italia is typically 23 days. This includes 21 days of racing and two rest days. This is a similar format to the other two Grand Tours in professional cycling: Tour de France and Vuelta a Espana.

The last Lanterne Rouge winner to win a Tour stage was Jacky Durand, LR winner in 1999, although he won Stage 8 the previous year in 1998.

The route they take vary a little from year to year, so steepest climb may also change. One side of Col du Tourmalet has a 14% incline which is an absolute killer to ride.

There are 18 UCI WorldTour teams and 4 EuropeTour teams with 9 riders each. Altogether that makes 198 riders.

Lance Armstrong is one of the all time best. He won the tour de France 7 times in a row. But before he did that he had already had to fight off cancer that had spread to his brain. He retired in 2006. He then came back in 2009 to ride in the tour de France. He finished 3rd that year. Armstrong rode the tour de France this year (2010), and then retired again.
