    What's with the return of gumwall tyres on Bianchis? First Belkin's Bianchis, now Androni Bianchis.

    Rabobank (which explains Belkin) were riding them for years...

    They're cleaner than yours Frenchie! :wink: Sorry couldn't resist.

    Anyway. What is with that hideous background for the Androni photos, its looks like a 1980s UK primary school photo *shudder* set-up.

    And I'm afraid the only thing I can see in that picture of Luis Leon Sanchez is the Smurf in the background.

    And that Trek kit is still hideous.

    I actually think the Ridley Noah is out of this world. I don't know why, just think its Gorgeous.

    As for Cav's shoes... I want.

    Interesting to see the Ridley on bullets rather than Boras

    Have Caja got a new jersey as well as the bike, hope they haven't changed it too much, I really liked last years.

    They're pro issues ones. I guess they made them all white so they don't clash with anyone's kit or sponsors.

    Lots of photos of the Tinkoff kit:
    http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/photos/ ... n-training

    I like it a lot - side view is the best. The front yellow panel on the short I dont like though. Cant wait to see Contador race as he has a great season mapped out.

    The side-view looks great, but the front view is too much yellow. The bikes looks pretty fantastic too.

    This thread is an ocean of sense in the crazy world that pro race threads have become lately.

    And on a side note.... In that photo, Roman Kreuziger is Sean Penn

    And another former beau of Madonna has just been slammed by Tygart for 'probably the most...sophisticated drug program developed for an athlete that we've ever seen'*

    Its cycling's equivalent of the Six Steps to Kevin Bacon game



    *Yes, I know Tygart said that about Lance and USPS - he does love hyperbole, does Tygart
