Does anyone know why Alaphillipe is in green instead of Impey? Kwiatkowski is the actual points leader but he's in overall jersey, Impey is second in the points and Alaphillipe 3rd...

Very weird.

 

Maybe Darryl and MS decided to pass on the opportunity of wearing green because they weren't the outright holders of the jersey, and the SA flag looks much better rolling across the line in first...?

Because AP is French? There's probably a UCI sub rule that the French-est runner up gets to wear the jersey if the leader is wearing something else :D

Years ago the famous LA tried that at Le Tour after Dave Zabriski(I think) had been leading and crashed in the TT and LA felt he didn't deserve the jersey(O the irony of this now). The organisers threatened to DQ him if he didn't wear the jersey.

Tweet Ant McCrossan, He should know and he is usually pretty good at responding to tweets.

Would still assume that they needed to clear this with race officials and MS team and Impey first.

On the same train of thought, would one be able to put a South African flag somewhere on the sleeve or elsewhere should the reigning SA road champion get to wear a classification jersey in an event like this or TDF?

They put the rainbow stripes and before that the Slovak stripes on the green jersey when Sagan wore it and every other national/world champ before that who wore classification jerseys, can't see that would've be an issue.
