    Is there any Russian backing still connected to the team? If not, any reason to keep the Katusha name?

    Ja Ja... Igor Makarov still owns the team... but he's 'diversifying' out of Russia.

    Seam placing (and the size of them) & fabric, especially around the sleeves.

    New look for JLT-Condor. I quite like it... though you could argue that it's a bit dark...

    Aqua Blue kit... just highlights how few sponsors they have.

    It's only a bit of sport, Mun. Relax and enjoy the racing.

    Rick Delaney's ponying up the spondoolies. There's guff about the AquaBlue ecommerce site he's launching, funding the thing after a while. Lets see whether it follows the path of ONE.

    Otherwise, its Vermarc (obvs), Knight Composites, Schwalbe

    Just thinking that. Some nice kit for BMC then
    Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.

    Boonen looking skinnier than ever
    It's a little like wrestling a gorilla. You don't quit when you're tired. You quit when the gorilla is tired.

    He does, he does.

    He needs a big base of fitness, and from previous interviews I know Boonen starts training relatively hard already in December, so that come Feb/March he’s only at most, a few kilos and a big shit above the ideal racing weight.

    He likes to come off the season in decent shape (post worlds usually) and keep it chugging away.

    That’s why, by the time he gets to the velodrome, he’s properly shagged.

    The circle formed around the crotch area due to side panel design on bibs remains terrible. It's almost like pointing a sign towards your junk. Adding a contrasting color to form the circle like Trek Segafredo does, makes it even worse.520px-Leuven_-_Brabantse_Pijl,_15_april_2015,_vertrek_(B165).JPG

    What's with that Ridley? Exceedingly small rear triangle, short wheelbase and aero seat pin. It's almost like a TT/Tri antelope bike without the tri-bars. Looks like one helluva stiff ride.
