Specialized S-works aren't they?

Aye, look like it to me.

I assume Contador's sticking with Sidi (wonder if they'll make a less nauseating advert for Eurosport now?)

Tusher

Doesn't even have to be less nauseating- ANY other ad for Eurosport would be welcome.

Funny thing is, I look at that squad picture, and, to me, it just doesn't say "team of 2010 Tour de France Winner".

Thank goodness they did a matching paint job. As fugly as the Astana kit is - it was made even worse with the glaring clash with the red paint job of the Spesh bikes. (And this from a guy who regularly wears last years Astana kit!).

Nice looking frame. Surprised there is so much black on it :?

Owwwwww..... my eyes:

have to say I think with the leggings it looks pretty good. It stands out from the crowd so I quite like it. Of course it will prob only go on sale in the summer and the tights and winter stuff might not even hit the public at all

redddraggon

It's not bad for a Pro kit.

Not one that I'd buy though,

Finished set up looks pretty good.

I personally think it looks better than last years but its not one of my favourites.

+ 1, I'm liking that

all show no go

I probably prefer the Saxo Bank Tarmac's by a smidgen but to be honest the two team's bikes are identical in every way (gruppo, wheels, finishing kit etc) apart from saddle supplier so there's nothing in it apart from the paintjob.
Trek are going to be mighty miffed that one of their bikes will not be sitting on top of the TdF podium this year and that their biggest market competitor could potentially fill all three spots.
Still, there's always the Tour of Cali.

Haha no...I think it is that time of year when the top guys do these things for their sponsors:

Gilbert should have it in his contract that he doesn't have to do close ups

Moomaloid

i just can't believe that is a Specialized ad, its so poor...
