    Why do they need an SRM and Garmin Vector pedals?

    Because the Vector system isn't finished (or doesn't work), so they are using the branded pedals without the electronics and the SRM for power.

    edit: googling shows Garmin's latest estimate for Vector to be available to the public is "later this year"

    Is that Hesjedal's bike? What frame does he ride? an R5ca or whatever the new bike is called?

    Anyone have any shots of Ryder's bike?

    There seem to be some different Sky skin suits - just saw one of the Columbians go off in one with stripes and an ugly zip up the back - makes sense having the zip there but it seems quite prominent. Wiggins' one looks plain black and I can't see a zip.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    A budget slightly lessened by the fact they've just bought a 'team-house' in Nice, ffs... cheers Rupert. :roll:

    I did like the rain jacket Wiggo was wearing at todays Giro stage, the blue one! Definitely not available at Rapha, at least not yet.

    I thought the same - looks like a useful piece of kit. Probably £300 though.

    Blimey, my guess of £300 wasn't that wild then! Is their stuff really good or is it just a label thing?

    As much as I like that jacket, I think I'll be making do with a very similar looking Karrimor jacket I bought a few years back. :cry:

    Got an email with this in it this morning which looks okay for £39 - not sure about the breathability though.

    Actually, I think that photo isn't from 2013 so shouldn't have been posted in 2013 gear. Here is a much more up to date photo. :D
