    Not a bad idea - I often wonder what each rider uses, just for the sake of comparison.

    I was kinda expecting to see them wearing their black kit for the Tour though...

    Interesting but looks bad.

    Sagan`s kit is still shockingly underwhelming.

    Agreed. Do the national champs jersey properly or not at all.
    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    After puzzling over 'snake chameleon bull' I tried google. Fizik saddles for those ignorant as me - after an off on the way home this evening I think I need shorts with 'Donkey' written on the back.

    In retrospect MR.. you're right... they're woeful. Although MG-Maxifuel might beg to differ!

    A girl from my Club rides for MG now. The frames different colours, so while the blue is still lairy, the rest of it's not too bad. Not my taste though :(

    Lovin' those Treks, whereas Cavendish's Spesh looks dull & bland.

    (awaits someone to come along and say the Spesh looks classy and understated...)

    I like that celeste colour on the Genesis Volare - but its a bit too much on the new Trek, for my taste

    What are the cable ties for on Cavs frame? I noticed he had them on in the national road race too. Seem to be where the brake cable goes in and out of the frame so presumably something to do with that

    I love Kask helmets - I have one - but that new model is yak! I'm not sure what the rest of you think, but I am seriously not keen on this move towards aero style helmets.

    The aero one would be better for vomiting into, it wouldn't run out of the holes...

    As far as they go I like that kask one, but generally no I dont like aero helmets.

    Can't see it being liked by the teams' climbers if it takes a helicopter to lift it to the start line.

    That pic does not do it Justice. Saw one in the flesh @ the local concept store the other day. Has loads of little details with his major wins on the top Tube, and a sort of flip colour glitter paint. I have to go down later so will see if I can grab some pics..

    Cav has a lot of tilt on his saddle, doesn't he?

    Aero helmets look horrible. I'd forego any performance gain they might bring based on looking like a dick.

    That Spesh looks awesome and usually I do not like Spesh bikes.

    The head tube on that nearest Trek looks weird.

    Those Aero helmets are just wrong. I mean part of the whole thing with cycling is looking good on the bike. Those do not help.

    Maybe, but I still prefer the colour of the Trek.
