No wonder he didn't win last years tour. Those coffee brakes man.

Cool

I would prefer bright colours too.But Im worried that there will be more white as Tinkoff's bank colours are yellow and white...I would prefer orange,pink or red (of course i want their early season 2011 kit,but thats not possible)

Not orange!!!! Do you want the entire team to crash out or something????

I really liked the way AC put it:

It’s going to be difficult to beat him, but nobody’s unbeatable. That’s what they said about me, too.

and this:

I felt a bit odd when our team went up on the [2013] Tour podium as winners of the best team award.

It seemed as if the team classification win was more humiliating to him than not winning the tour.

i think AC talked abt Wiggo not being included to tell Froome that he doesnt hav the best team with him.

I still feel that in the battle of minds, AC has won by just following the wheels of CF in CD.

Any news abt the team jersey yet? I think yellow suits them better than any other color

Is this for real??? " In 2013 Contador was lacking a domestique with the climbing ability of Sky’s Richie Porte and Peter Kennaugh,"

I tweeted the author, and he was aware that Kreuziger worked for Contador, but said he didn't feel like he completely sacrificed himself for AC.

He looks super lean, but not emaciated. It's been a while since he's looked like this (2009 comes to mind).

EDIT: I never noticed it before today, but he has his logo (stylized hands doing the pistol shot) on the fronts of his shoes. I wonder if this is a new thing for the Tour....

Oleg's private jet

Very cool pics especially the first one

Although Oleg looks a bit creepy

 

[jens_attacks]

[inthepink]

I am sure Nico Roche is holding up some type of cryptic message

Maybe "Help ...save us from Oleg "

AWESOME VIDEO! thanks for sharing. The coffee?.. lol.. just stick it to Froome huh? He does look really sharp. Lean and mean. But not anorexic. this is what TDF winner should look like

 

[yespatterns]

He looks like he should be in a basement asking for a "baby ooooooofffff!".

 

[Miburo]

Contador looks amazing on that pic, getting more and more hyped.

I thought the two pilots looked creepier.

 

[inthepink]

I thought the two pilots looked creepier.

Pilots look like 2 KGB rejects

 

[murali]

absolutely right!

i told you, i hate this guy

on second thought, i think i will forgive him this time. he's having those two KGB-ish guys protecting the team in a luxury jet
