I very recently got into cycling and have a question about jersey's...what do I wear under it? Do I just wear a sports bra or am I supposed to be wearing a layer of clothing before the jersey?

In general, a sports bra is fine. You don't need to wear a layer of clothing between you & your jersey.

When the weather is cold, you might want to wear a thin baselayer under your jersey, either a technical fabric or very fine wool. Check what TE has in their catalog for baselayers to see what I mean.

Ed. to add: There are also baselayers designed to wick sweat away when it's hot out, but I'm not familiar with those because I don't often ride in extreme heat.
