    Team Launch underway. Giant-Shimano confirmed. Kit looks to be white with bits of black and blue...

    Looks a bit Team Blanco to me, which I guess isn't really any great surprise.

    I like that kit a lot and the bike is pretty decent as well without the decals. Good job Giant - with Cannondale and now Trek in the mix, they can't get left out. Surprised Specialized don't start their own team although they do have huge coverage already I suppose.

    Maybe it's just me and the fact my son is watching a lot of Madagascar at the moment, but is one of them called Marty by any chance? :P

    Really don't like the shape of the Giant Envie at all. Just what were they thinking? The TCR on the other hand, its just timeless. :) Its got to be the most successful bike of all time by now..

    Funny that they don't seem to write Giant anywhere on the frame?

    Is it not because the ladies team appears to be called Liv-Shimano ?

    If you look at the team kits in the shop they are identical to the mens except it says LIV across the chest instead of GIANT. So that must be the ladies bike.

    I quite like that kit - guess its the usual colours (black, white, bit of blue) but its a nice striking design, somebody has made a bit of effort. That TCR's geometry looks very similar to mybike as well which can only be a good thing!

    IAM kit also quite nice, certianly big improvement on last year. Is it just Saxi-Tinko we're waiting for now?

    “We vouched for this team for one year,” Giant’s marketing director Tom Davies confirms. “We, or mainly the big bosses in Taiwan, decide in the upcoming period if we continue as title sponsor.”

    --

    “I was told that Giant was onboard for four years,” said Tom Veelers. “I have a two-year contract and as far as I know I’ll ride with Giant-Shimano next year.”
