2014 Pro-cycling season thread

He's quite a bit swearier and more uncouth than Branson. On Twitter, at least.

At least he gives a shit. World of cycling is more interesting with him about.

Fucking hell, hippy the moderator actually moderating. Someone take a picture for posterity

Fluoro colours look fucking awful. Always. Wether it's a pro team, or a Rapha jersey, it's 'orrid.
I hope Bert is in the lead from day one just so there is one less radioactive snot-green jersey to look at.

You really need to get off the fence

Tinkoff has gone flouro for TDF

Early morning ride I'd assume? It's fucking July, cold up north or what?

So much passive-aggression in such a little punctuation mark

Oleg Tinkov is basically a Russian Richard Branson isn't he?

Odious cunt.

His full-kit wankery rant at the Giro was good value though, and his frequent trolling of Sky via Twitter

orders chartreuse jersey

But that's chartreuse, not neon yellow. Anyway, I like them. I have two. Chartreuse jerseys, that is, not those godawful Tinkoff things.

Not convinced. It's a bit like saying you're glad you've got a homocidal stalker, because at least it shows they care...

Tinkov's great. His megalomaniac enthusiasm and lack of tact is refreshing.

I'd hate to be working for him though, but he's entertaining.

More like when you've got a spot. Something to play with. A particularly apt metaphor in light of the new colour of kit.

Yours is also apt because there's no doubt he's killed.

I'm surprised they're allowed to have jerseys this yellow. I always thought that wasn't permitted in the Tour because of the yellow jersey.

Astana are idiots.

That national jersey is a joke.

Pathetic

Its further from the 'yellow jersey' in terms of colour than their usual kit

They got it dead right for the ladies team though

Cannondale x Death Spray Custom

Did it before morgan :P

Meh.
Looks a bit too colnago-copy.

Looks like a t-shirt my mum bought me in 1991.

Looks shit
