Re: Re:

That guy on the far left looks like a middle-aged insurance salesman who has wandered into the wrong convention hall.

How did the song go?
One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong

Am I completely stupid or is there someone else who has no idea who the guy on the right side is?

I don't either...perhaps that just means we're both completely stupid.

he is the only guy who got style

 

[LaFlorecita]

That's Riblon

 

[jsem94]

God, Froome's fashion choices at that presentation. Completely dreadful.

Re:

Since when are faded blue jeans in style? He looks like Jeremy Clarkson.
Froome looks like he got dressed in the dark.
Kittel is the best of the bunch although looking at the length of his sleeves its clearly off the peg not tailored.

Jeremy Clarkson ,,,yeah right

It was just a little joke, Clarkson is synonymous in the UK with dreadful demin. Anyway all rather OT so back on topic, Alberto rocks a very nice suit.

I'm with you Swifty Cakes,it was just a joke. I reckon Clarkson is showing some potential in the photo. Obviously he's just attacked the peloton , there is no other riders in the background and he is heading for glory.
The fire extinguisher on the down tube is a nice touch. its UCI legal. I do like the Captain Scarlett microphone on the helmet. I think overall you have to say Clarkson is the future of the sport.

Re:

Alberto looked very stylish yesterday at the gala with a very light blue shirt and white tie. Aru went for a classic look.

Froome did not wear his beige jacket again but went for a raincape-ish zip-up jacket with small holes in it. He paired it with a polkadot tie.

Looks very much like a school kid, look at that face

Nairo and Valverde wore ties with the Movistar logo on it which makes them look like businessmen

Alberto had Hugo Boss and Armani personal sponsorship in the past so I guess he learned how to dress.
About Froome getting dressed in the dark, that might be the case or Michelle maybe has a terrible sense of fashion, although I guess his body shape doesn't help

On another note, apparently Alberto is battling a stomach flu, hopefully his preparation won't be hampered because if I recall correctly he was also ill after the Tour. I hope it is nothing serious.
Or maybe it is part of the master plan, start the sandbagging before the season even begins

 

[jsem94]

Froome needs to go to a bloody tailor. Purito looked great during that gala.

Alberto and Aru keeping it tight and classy.

Well, he can infect the competition at the gala, and it's hard to gain a lot of weight with a stomach flue, so that's two things

True but I hope it is over soon so he can prepare for next season

Berto does not look very heavy in the pics I've seen, on the other hand Froome looks fat (for his standards )

 

[Rollthedice]

Did Froome wear sand shoes? I can't see from the pictures.

 

[Beech Mtn]

Re:

Froome and Cookson both wore the Official Gordonstoun Old School Tie.

 

[hrotha]

Was Laura Meseguer the only woman in that godawful gala?

And what's with Froome's jacket? Holes and a zipper? Is it supposed to be part of some sort of weird sports suit?

 

[Swifty's Cakes]

Hideous clobber again from Froome, as bad off the bike as he is on it.

 

[SeriousSam]

Looks like we've found something related to cycling Froome isn't good at. Messi is also famous for having a horrible sense of dressing at those awards ceremonies. Coincidence? You decide.

I read an article where, if I read it correctly (was in Spanish), it said Alberto got sick upon arriving in Abu Dahbi. So he was only able to attend the gala to receive the award on stage and then left. I believe this is the reason why there's no pictures (that I've seen) of him during the red carpet or at the end with everyone on stage.

Berto always looks classically tailored, but I have to say, that open collar on Purito does give him a bit of va va voom. The only good thing to say about Froome's shocking tailoring is that I suppose he's not had the stylists in…

 

[Beech Mtn]

Alberto: I don't want to be photographed with these guys and their terrible clothes. It looks like Froome's being given some kind of Biggest Nerd in Cycling Award.

CLASS, Beech.

 

[LaFlorecita]

Looking at recent pictures he does not seem to have gained much weight.. and the team will have their first training camp in 2 weeks time, Alberto will start his preparation around that time too. Not much time left to get fat he seems to be very serious about next season
