We know it’s not a massive bouquet of flowers, stuffed lion, cobblestone or
glass sculpture and there isn’t any champagne (yet!) but each winner (1st
place) at Monday PIR receives a custom series winner jersey (Thanks to
Castelli). Celebrate your win every day you wear it (or you can frame it, we
don¹t care). Stop by PIR TONIGHT to claim your jersey for the April series
