After their hilarious 'Call me maybe' parody vid from last year they have just released their latest vid. Seem like a pretty cool team to me.

    Love it. They should rock those wigs on a stage.

    At one point the bus driver looked like he was doing the infamous head in hands pose he struck when he...er...struck the gantry in stage one.

    Reporter: "Yes. Prediction"

    Also had a guy with a tape measure just after that :)

    Just waiting for Sky to do a version of Back in Black now...

    Quality. OGE fast becoming a favourite.

    Love their seemingly laid back nature.

    I noticed them doing the air guitar bit on the podium after the TTT.
    Obvious that Bernard Hinault was not in on the joke, he looked totally confused.

    Merckx my favourite.

    Such a fun team. Now they just need a couple of different type of riders than the current ones and I'm definitely a major fan.

    Sky really should do a total deadpan one. Do an old Jesus and Mary Chain one, hair covering their unsmiling faces.

    Gotta love Orica.

    After "call me maybe" I can't say I really liked this video to be honest. The first one was amazing and really well done, but this one just feels a bit random to me. I do love their spirit though, and always watch their daily videos during races and such. One of my favourite teams easily.

    Quick Q.

    Who's the OGE rider with the full sleeve tattoo? In contrast to Gilbert and Chava I really like it...

    Also, Sponsors would have been p*ssed if the firework incident had more consequences! :lol:

    OGE seem to get some stick but they go about their business pretty well ...

    They have 3 monument winners and a quality DS in Matt White (ok he's got history but no more than others) ...

    They have the backing of their national federation but unlike SKY don't worry about having one too many drinks at the office party (just an analogy) ...

    Hell, until Ryder and Dan pulled out there fingers out from nowhere, OGE were the Garmin who could win races ...

    Its good but to be very good they should have had a bit trying to give a Sky rider a "guitar" and have him totally not getting it.

    To be perfect he should have tried to plug it into his powermeter box

    Gee or Stannard would have done it :P

    Quality video, good to see a bit of light hearted team bonding, that firework incident was a bit mental!

    Should've had a clip of Angus riding in his uniform.
