Hi, anyone seen any pics of the Bianchi that Barloworld are using this year? Can't find any pics of the new bikes or kit (presumably they'll have a new jersey this year).
Any urls will be appreciated! :D

    Don't know about the team colours but they are using a 928 Carbon T-cube as seen here in beautiful Celeste

    Surely they can't be wearing those colours on a Celeste bike?

    Indeed they are... Bianchi barely gets a mention on their backs.

    Why did they bin Cannondale? More money from Banchi? That mean LeekyGas are the only Pro Peleton team on cannondale?

    It was the other way around Cannondale binned them. At least they are more "Euro" now.

    I think their contract with Cannondale ran out and the manager Claudio Corti had a word with Bianchi. I remember reading that Cannondale will be sponsoring another Pro team, just can't remember which right now. :oops:

    That doesn't look right, it would have looked ok with some Boras on though.

    Shimano rubbish? Where's the decent stuff gone?
