    Looks like Boonen's going to be in light blue http://www.quickstepcycling.eu/en/news/ ... jersey/635

    (with a hint of Green if that website is right, which isn't ideal for him).

    Seems I won't be buying the 2012 QS kit.
  • I think it is pretty cool. Shame it doesn't tie in too well top and bottom, but still v good.

    I think the back will line up a bit better when riders are on their bike.. Reminds me a bit of the old Leopard colours..

    Didn't realise Boonen was back on the specialized again.

    If they're riding in that colour then surely they should really be riding Bianchi;

    Looks good, more Leopard colours, but guess they wont be needing it next season!
  • I have just been on the Leopard Trek site. It is boasting about the new team (Radioshack Nissan Trek) and talks of the main company behind the team being being Leopard SA.

    Plus, in the photos of their current training camp in Calme, some of the Radioshack riders are on Leopard trek coloured madones. Does that mean anything? will the new radioshack kit be baby blue??

    Busche and Zubeldia can also be seen putting on Northwave shoes. Zubeldia's are - you guessed it - baby blue and white!

    You can just see how much they are enjoying modelling for that picture :lol:
  • Not sure how that kit is gonna stand out much in the peloton though. Looks like a mix between Leopard Trek and Saxobank.

    Nice to see compact road frames making a comeback (only because that's what I ride!)

    They're still under contract with Leopard Trek. Teams contracts normally (read always) run until the end of the year/late in the year so they still have to ride in their Leopard-Trek kit and bikes until the contract expires.

    Equally the new kit could be the same colours as Leopard kit. But that's highly unlikely as Radioshack (the actual sponsor's stores/website e.t.c.) has distinctly red branding across the board.

    Zubeldia is coming from Radioshack though isn't he?
  • Yeah he is, if you look at the photos you'll see him in RS kit and the LT shoes. Plus in reply to Ekimike, it is some of the RS riders, in RS kit riding LT madones. So you have Radioshack riders on Leopard Trek bikes. Now, that's not what we would expect contract wise is it?

    May be a temporary kit for the Aussie nationals. They're making a big deal about launching the kit 'proper' at Tour Down Under.
