    A bit lame in my view, but it's free publicity for his saddle manufacturer.

    A real Mod Rocker would get a few chrome mirrors bolted on to his bike and damn the weight penalty.

    Is that a homage to his team mate getting chucked out of the Giro for hanging onto a motorbike?

    Anyway, has a ginger ever won the Tour?

    Of course! How could I forget!

    He's have got away with his doping if he'd sold orange wrist bands and appealed for people to stop hating on folks for having orange hair. Although, the fact he got blood transfusions really would've re-enforced the stereotype.

    I guess the question is whether it is them or simply the manufacturers. From the 2nd perspective, it gets their saddles much more exposure.

    It's a bit of harmless fun and a good bit of PR for the saddle manufacturers.

    I like the Schleck one:-

    "It's 3000km to Paris, we've got a full tank of blood...." etc. :lol:

    What's worrying is that the Bertie one is the least offensive. Needs to up his game.

    He should have a pistol which could double as a phallic symbol at the point of the saddle :lol:

    Harmless fun, I suppose, but I don't really 'get' all this personalised gimmicky stuff on bikes/equipment.

    The graphic design/artwork is dire - looks like Shaggy from Scooby Doo!
