    What about Tyler Transitions Lenses Farrar?

    I'd post a pic but I'm in an iPad right now.

    Have Panini ever done a Pro Cycling edition? They could do shiny silver ones for the monuments and world champs. Cofidis would have to share a page with Rusvelo like the lesser teams in the world cup. The silver Paris Roubaix sticker would be the one no-one would seem to have whilst everyone would have about 30 John Gadrets.

    I was thinking the other day they should do a cycling one. It'll never happen in this country, maybe Belgium.

    So Panini you say?
    Cycling, you say?

    Well OK. Why not?

    Rich - please tell me this is your copy.
    Is there a 2014 edition? Are there shiny silver stickers? I need to know.

    No, they sadly don't sell it in Cardiff. I can't find a 2014 version, just 2009-2013. It was also big in the 70s.

    Looking at the Sky image, the team strip sticker on the left is the shiny.

    Here's stuff about the 2010 album: http://fsaatg.blogspot.co.uk/2014/03/pa ... -2010.html

    Most of the riders that still ride for them are listed as "The others"

    Funny thing about internet forums, you start a thread and you never know where it going to go.
    Excellent find Rich

    It gets better - a quick google reveals someone has uploaded their completed edition from 1971:

    Netherlands only 3 pages, Britain half a page (with Hugh Porter, Barry Hoban, Michael Wright and Tony Gowland featured), Italy 7 pages, Belgium 9 pages.

    Froome seems to be missing altogether. No-one tell Michelle or she'll be knocking on the door at Panini like an over-protective mum after her kid has just lost a fight.

    Although most of these endorsements are only ever going to make people roll their eyes, I could really start to warm to him if he did that.

    Speaking of Panini, that hood makes G look like he has a mid-eighties football mullet, a classic era Hoddle or Waddle Spurs special. If he grew a 'tache he could even make the Liverpool mullet line up

    Yep, I think you're right. I'm guessing that the page isn't from the same version as the cover as that's nothing like the 2013 squad.
