Pokes28 said:Wow, most of this year's kits are hideous. Normally I'm a fan of the Garmin kit, but I'm not a fan of the 2014 version. Giant and Trek are both pretty decent. AG2R kits are always ugly and this is no exception.
I'm going to miss seeing the orange of Euskaltel out there.

I'm not fussed about jersey's being fashionable, I just like them to have bright or distinctive colour schemes so that they're then easy to distinguish from the helicopter viewing point. With Trek, Sky, Movistar, IAM, Lampre and Orica all going down the black/navy blue route, it's not going to be a particularly viewer friendly season, especially when it rains and the capes come out. Sure we'll muddle through though so bring on the racing!

Cannot wait for it all to kick off again!! - Should be some great racing, and lets hope the brits can keep winning :)
I really need to get my own bike out and get some miles in... Been so so bad over the winter and deciding to stay in the warm rather than get out on the bike..
I think i need a nice week away in Majorca in the sun to get me going again

Yeah I've hardly been out on my bike either. I was really good last winter and got out there a lot, but this time around it's not happened. Still time to rectify that though over the coming weeks I suppose.
Looks like Horner may be getting a team at last with reports saying Lampre may be prepared to take a punt on him. Still no takers for Samu though.
Excellent. Been a long winter without the racing.Shands said:Big week this week! Froome makes his season bow today at the Tour Of Oman (great race it was last year! Schleck's riding this one as well) and Contador starts his year tomorrow in the Algarve. Plus there's a decent line up at Andalucia too with Valverde. Porte and Wiggins riding there. The season really gets going now.
