a tour de france question

I'm aware of the following jerseys: yellow, green, polka-dot, and white. But the crawl across the bottom of the screen here is showing me the following: Leaders - 7 riders - [graphic: polka-dot jersey] / Peloton - +3.52 - [graphic: blue jersey with white yoke, yellow jersey, green jersey, white jersey]
What I understand from this is that the current King of the Mountains is in the breakaway group nearly four minutes ahead of the pack, which contains the current tour leader, the current sprinter, the current best rookie, and some dude in a blue jersey with a white yoke, and I cannot work out what the hell that means. It has just occurred to me that this may be the uniform of the current leading team?, but either that's nonsense or it's right but I need someone to confirm it. Cycling fans, help!
[eta: Heh. Color commentator just noted it was Lance Armstrong's blue jersey. That ... seems unnecessary, but what can you do.]
