What's going on in the Poloverse

will 2014 herald the return of the facecage? Someones bound to get hurt soon

We all know that whilst the cage protects one's face, it does not look cool. No where near as cool as a sweet road helmet (get out of my face skate helmets).

So the real question is: Would you be prepared to take a hit, but look damn cool for the most part?

I am ashamed to say I would not.

Negligible weight-advantage, higher cost and lower strength. It will trend but it's unwise.

"Carbon bars are bad for impacts and will degrade over time to the point of failure."

People will tell you this over and over, look them dead in the eyes and tell them you can't wait for your bars to fail as it will be epic/fun.

(You'll subsequently be given more room on court as people will think you're a nut job.)

Newflash: Doddi is in London sans polo bike.

2014 is all about borrowing a bike.

To sign a contract with his new team. I'm not sure who is gonna break it to Tim..

Can't wait to see Jono and dodi on the same team. 'Dude, I will take your fucking head off'

Vests? I mean, come on!

Vests may be here to stay, at least for one more season.
But vests / arm warmer combo has to be on the way out.

2014 is all about tactical consumption of foods and liquids at tournaments. Frequent snacking on Cliff Bars and shots of chocolate milk as the day progresses.

Hold on, I haven't played since march, do I need to come back into the game without my face cage?

shots of chocolate milk as the day progresses.

Amen

+1 for vests on trend. And 'roids, or any other performance enhancing drugs for that matter.

So thats a firm no you are not playing with polo next year?

Who will be the first picks of the Euro Bench and the Bench Minor?

650c wheels? Almost identical to 26" with harder to find tyres

ftfy

You!

Zach is too nice. He is positive about everything that happens. It makes the sport into a farce.

Oh for sure, but that's just Merican commentators for you.

I think it would be good to have the Zach "everything is awesome", and Chan "he really fucked up there" in combo.

No tonni from toulouse or a whoke list of french dudes

Hold on, I haven't played since march, do I need to come back into the game without my face cage?
