Pro's keeping gear?

Depends what kind of team you're talking about; Continental, Pro Conti or Pro Tour.
Anyway usually the clothing/shoes/helmet/etc is kept by the rider.0 -
Yeah, was gonna say surely they'd keep it. Who else would it fit??!0

Depends how good a job they've done, how much the manager likes them, and if the manager had bugeted for disposing of said items themselves.
A well known UK based team had an ex rider spannering for a year in return for a bike they should not have sold on....0 -
Suppose that the strip often changes in between years, although some years this will be very subtle. This would make the previous season's stuff obsolete although it would still fetch a price if sold.0

I know a guy who has some of Cav's old gear from previous teams including a bike. He has been big mates with Cav for many years and uses the gear to train/ride in/on and it doesn't get any special treatment.
I would have some of the shirts on the wall but I guess when you've known a pro rider from the time when he was just one of the lads on a club ride or in a race it is different.0
