Tour de France 2013

Well, that sucks for Gerrans.

Ha!

Gerro made the choice to give yellow to his team mate. #teamplayer

Good win by Greipel. I like how all of the top four sprinters can currently win on their day. It makes even sprint finishes interesting. :)

In other news, I really don't like the way some of the national champion jerseys are designed. Sagan's 'understated' one is the worst, just not different enough from the standard jersey, I don't like Vichot's tricolore-only (and before him Bouhanni with the same look), and Greipel's German champion jersey doesn't look good to me, either, with the flag stripes too far down and the jersey looking poorly proportioned for that. It's good that Cavendish has gone for the simple, uncluttered, traditional look.

Yup, cav's brit RR champ jersy is great. So it Mr Andre Greipel, German Sprinter for Lotto-Belisol And swiss bmc rider.

Cav's jersey gripels? What's that, then? ;)

Waffa is hardly uncluttered. I like the simple, stylish dot in your post, though.

The stripes looked a bit funny on his skinsuit yesterday. Like drawing on a balloon and then blowing it up.

Oh, I didn't see that. It's virtually the same look that Greipel had today.

Bloody marginal gains.

I's the skinsuit they're wearing, it's cut to be comfy when hunched over.

ahem, the correct term is speed suit, it has pockets on the back and is easier to piss in.

...a fine quality in any type of suit.

For following riders?

Why do Sky have 21st Century Fox on their arses, and what do 21st Century Fox think they are getting for their sponsorship bucks?

Also on the arse sponsorship issue Cannondale "BULL" What? Why?

AQA thread >>>>>>>>>>>>>

On 28th June News Corp was separated into two distinct publically traded companies, with publishing and print assets held in News Corp and tv and movie assets held in 21st Century Fox. 21st Century Fox holds a 39% stake in Sky parent firm BskyB. In short, the ultimate sponsors of the team have decided to advertise two of their businesses on the strip, rather than just one. Why they think this is a good idea, who knows.

The "BULL" logo is to do with Fizik's saddle fitting concept.

The number of 'Bull's' I have seen on Cannondale riders I can only assume they are all fat fuckers

Pretty sure the arse sponsorship spot is one of the most expensive ones for sponsors seeing as its clearly visible from the moto cams

It must be Waffa preparing their new 'Fox' range.

I suspect it will feature foxes.

Waffa owner Will Wiganwill will undoubtedly be able to shed more light.

Lets see more of Rob Hayles interviewing riders on Eurosport. I like watching him interview Cav. Cav always seems to resent being interviewed and seems a bit off but with Hayles being his mate he really loosens up and gives a good bit of banter.

Good win by Greipel. I like how all of the top four sprinters can currently win on their day. It makes even sprint finishes interesting. :)

it's the wrong colour and the wrong flag. .

Well even if he was egytian. It was the british champs he won.

Going by your logic I could try to win the faro islands champs, then demand the british champ jersey based on my actual nationality.

ahem, the correct term is speed suit, it has pockets on the back and is easier to piss in.

Looks to me to be a Castelli San Remo Speedsuit™ which is not quite a normal speedsuit. It's a tight jersey sewn most of the way around their knicks. Notice the gap at the front? Probably just as fast as a normal speedsuit but more convenient as it can be fully unzipped and doesn't flap around. I bought one for the 24hr but didn't end up using it.

Sharing is caring (and more publicity for OGE)

Edvald Boasson Hagen, what a great name. I wish my parents had called me Edvald Boasson Hagen
