    That's a shame. They were just one day away from equaling the record (Saunier Duval 2005)

    Indeed.
    You'd have thought that they would have tried their best to beat that. Just think of the publicity they could have gained.

    Is this right?

    From Not Pat McQuaid ‏@UCI_Overlord on Twitter:
    With that victory, AG2R has now equalled @RSNT's 2012 win total. With a quarter of the budget. *chuckle*

    2005 wasn't a leap year... So in theory...

    Who supplies the AG2R lid, it looks awful.

    I've never noticed their lids, been too preoccupied with the sheer hideosity of their shorts.

    Hideosity has just become my favourite word. It replaces Kibosh after a short struggle.

    Same old Tusher, always looking at the shorts... :wink:

    Ekoi. Think it looks alright, if it wasn't brown!

    It must be difficult to attain a winning mentality when you're dressed as a quasi-turd.

    You guys have no taste or style.

    AG2R kit looks quality.

    Well, it's certainly distinctive. You can always spot the back of the jersey straight away from the helicopter shots. Pity I can't recall what the front of it looks like. :evil:

    Not sure about quality but I think the helmet looks pretty good. Koi(?) helmets are normally pretty good looking.

    I quite like the brown shorts too, not as good as black but loads better than white.

    Black shorts are overrated - massively.

    Yeah, but you're too young to remember when shorts were only black. Before Castorama (I think) broke the code with their blue ones and then Cipollini made a mockery of the whole black shorts thing.
