Those are the world champion stripes. You can only wear them on you jersey after you have won them.

You wear the full world champion jersey (white with rainbow stripes around the chest) the year after
you win the worlds. In years after that, you wear the stripes on your sleeves only.

All former World Champions (Lance won the 1993 Professional World Championship race, in Oslo) are
allowed to wear the WC stripes on their sleeves for the rest of their career.

Like others have said, these indicate he is a former World Champion (1993). The also often have the
bands around the collar as well. Likewise, former national champions sometimes have the national
colors on the collars and sleeves.....
