    Great - except that you won't be able to race in your Katusha skinsuit in CTT open events!

    Although you'll be OK wearing it in club events

    The rules are a bit more flexible with helmets, as opposed to advertising that appears on clothing, but the old geezer pushing you off might be an objectionable so and so. So ... take a can of black spray paint with you.

    i regularly ride with the people who officiate the TT's and it's not a problem :)

    it would ruin the helmet anyways :cry:

    I'm not criticising your choice of kit, but why not use a club skinsuit?

    I see Katusha have changed colours this season, too!
    Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!

    yea they changed their colours too red now, which is pretty nice :)

    and too answer your question mate, my club skinsuit is £60 and i bought this one for £15!

    too expensive for me tbh..

    After a few club events you'll be gagging to do some Opens! Good luck for the season :)

    My first skinsuit was an Astana Pro Team one. Wore it once or twice until I realized how silly a fat plonker like me looked wearing Pro Team kit in a TT.


    If you can pull it off - kudos. But it's VERY rare to see anyone wearing Pro Team skinsuits.
