    Maybe they haven't sold many so he is freed of the contract?

    The Nike thing always seemed weird - they haven't sold any bike gear in years. I don't really get what they're trying to do.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    That is a bit odd

    Just by looking at the website you can see that will be a pretty penny! Liking the 'lugs' though. Look like something out of Tron

    You can't buy the Nike shoes. If I recall correctly, they aren't even made by Nike, just branded by them.

    That's just bizarre. Wear your own kit eh.

    I guess that sponsoring a few cyclists is a minuscule part of their marketing budget. The rest is just about aligning themselves with "the sporting lifestyle"

    Imagine the difference in endorsing an NBA All Star vs a cycling manxman...

    Massively different clothes sizes, I would imagine.

    Looks like something designed by Buckminster Fuller, it would be cool if it's made with nanotubes reinforced with Buckminsterfullerene.

    Well my cycling shoes are proper Nike, actually made by them. I picked them up in the sale as a consequence of them deciding to stop doing cycling gear. Must've been over 10 years ago...

    Might be some of those custom ones for David Millar. Can't be sure.

    They look like the Giro Empire SLX - that's the Easton carbon sole (same as Rapha use) but the giveaway is the edge of the stripe texture on the sides - those are the laced ones.
    I'm left handed, if that matters.

    That sleeve looks terrible. The quicker they go out of fashion the better.

    so wiggins now falls off so often that they've followed the boxing route of sponsoring the bottom of his shoes!

    This is frankly one of the worst things Contador has done. Really shocking to see this. The only thing to hope is that they are some special advanced model and so are just being tested.

    Yeah the Clen I can forgive but this? !?! Good golly no.

    They're not normal S Works. More heel stuff going on there Than normal. Although wit out the silly coloured dial they would be pretty sweet.
    It's not so much about winning, I just hate losing.

    Funnily it's the socks that bug me, but then pretty much the whole peloton has naff socks these days.

    The heel detail is just Contador with the Pistol logo- so he must like them to have his brand on there
