One of the best national champion jerseys ever. Full jersey, unique, creative. What more could you want?

Re: Re: They'll probably be wearing an all green version that matches with the kits. But even then, they're pretty cringe worthy. And they look like the one-up mushroom when they wear a green version with white insides. :p

Once a post has been replied to the poster can no longer deleted that post. There is a way to change it so poster can delete after a reply has been posted. But it get's into the coding of the forum. So best to leave those things to owners/developers of CN.

Re: I'm extremely curious as to just what the f*** is happening in this photo? :confused:

There's always the chance that he doesn't feel training is "tweet-worthy." Irregardless, I wouldn't get my hopes up. He's a bit of an enigma as to what kind of form he'll show up in.

I originally joined because I couldn't decide whether to pick Purito or Nibali in a fantasy cycling game. So I made a thread about it here. :p After that I lurked for quite a while until I felt confident enough in my cycling knowledge to start posting more.

Re: Would have liked to see some of the argyle patches be a different color (blue for example, like their TDF jersey). But this is still very nice. Much better than the black kit of last year. You don't see jersey's that have that kind of 3d look much, at least I can't recall any, so I like...

Re: And the award for blandest and least imaginative jersey ever goes too... :o

Re: Re: Pretty much this, it's back to the original Star Wars we all know and love. A necessary first step in washing away the sins of the prequels. :D And Kylo Ren is already one of the best villains in the Star Wars universe.

Re: And to think, they doubted them when they said a billboard could ride a bike. :p Nice to see some colors, but way too many logos for me to like the kit.

Re: Re: Their new sponsor, Segafredo, as far as I know is new to cycling (sponsoring it). So perhaps Trek's sponsor pleasing look is more for them then themselves. Treks been around long enough and is prominent enough of a brand that they shouldn't have trouble with cyclists not knowing about...

Re: Re: It's sponsor pleasing. Pinstripes give just enough of a design element to give them a little difference from all the other black kits while not being too flashy to the point the sponsor says "that's too much." The sponsor will be happy with a simple and clean look where their logo is...

1. Marco Pantani 2. Miguel Indurain 3. Eddy Merckx 4. Greg Lemond 5. Bernard Hinault 6. Fausto Coppi 7. Fiorenzo Magni 8. Jacques Anquetil 9. Chris Froome (for sh!ts and giggles) And every one of them is told they are the leader of the team. This is no longer just a bike race, I will have...
