    Detergent packaging. Don't think the jersey will offend anybody, but it looks more discount than high end.

    Lidl-Trek (no longer Radioshack-Leopard Trek)

    Gee will slot right in and become the team's leader in the Giro. That would lift both the Giro and Lidl's prospects.

    New Jerseys - 2026 Season - TeamKits-Maillots-Tricots-Tenues

    There are several teams at this level. I see this level as being more realistic in terms of return on investment rather than the stupidity of sportwashing, billionaires plaything or forces that wants to whack the fundamentals of our sport.

    Cofidis Team thread

    Aranburu's PCS point scoring (and ranking) the last 3 seasons: 2025 745 55 2024 883 42 2023 804 56 In the same sort of bracket, but I think Cofidis had hoped for more. Ion and Teuns seems to really struggle however.
