  • Really? hmmm.

    They may have a change kit, with the blue more dominant, anyway they have the yellow skyride bibs to wear on the tour .

  • that's what stephen fry said, anyway.

    and you don't mess with him.

  • hence burkas etc being black, not white.

  • "Why do Bedouins wear black robes in hot deserts?"

    However, "the clothes themselves are very loose (rather like Roman togas). The extra heat caused by the black colour causes increased upward convection of the air between the cloth and their body. This additional air circulation actually aids in evaporation of persiration and thus results in better cooling" - so probably doesn't apply for lycra...

    They'll have to change the colour of the bibs, probably to pink so they can be like Team ONCE.

  • Radius with no knee warmers.... punchy.

  • Yeah, those lobster style gloves look warm, though one of the riders said to me they were rubbish on the ride.

  • Recognise anyone?

    that's radius^

    Meeeee! And yes no knee warmers, was rather cold. Got laughed at by Serge Pauwels and subsequently the rest of the team riding with us when he asked if I was cold and I replied "my hands are freezing". Oh the shame.

  • after a morning ride while having a coffee near here, we watched Team Sky ride past, complete with team car. A few local wantabees following. Time 9am, temp 30C, forecast temp 43C, dry and sunny. Tour Down Under is gearing up.

  • Meeeee!...

    I think it was just after I shouted "Oi Mister Spokk, over 'ere!" after that other feeder (with Rudy in tow) joined us.
