Teams & Riders Alberto Contador Discussion Thread

Of course I'd like to see the bike colors changed, but how easy is it to paint the bikes with this short of a notice. Do they even have the tools to do it on the road? With their new jerseys they will glow in the sun. :)
 
It seems to me they mock up yellow or pink bikes as needed during the tour or giro. Also, I presume they will be riding the new tarmac most days, which they havent used as a squad most of the year. The two yellows clash horribly.

Vomit green trying to pass itself off as yellow but not yellow and be highlighter at the same time. No thanks, don't like it. Doesn't look a thing like the highlighters either IMO.

I just hope Contador get's yellow early so he doesn't have to wear that. And pray to god they give him yellow shorts too, as that green will look horrendous with the yellow jersey.

It's not green, it's fluo yellow :p

I quite like it although I prefer the normal jersey.

I think it looks better than the yellow jersey:eek:

Oh, and if your vomit looks like that, better see a doctor :eek:

This, is a faint fluo green/yellow that tries to pass itself off as entirely yellow.

Maybe I've just gotten to use to their usual yellow. It really was one of the best kits in the peloton.

I don't really see the difference to be honest. The Tinkoff fluo yellow might have a touch more green in it - but who cares. It reminds me of the color of a tennis ball, which I guess some people might call green.

Anyway, I agree that compared to the original jersey this one is ****, especially combined with the 'old' helmets and bikes. I think it'll look good on TV though and especially in the sun.

And I think it'll look better when they're wearing tighter jerseys too :)

Looks a little better in this pic. Perhaps just the sun in those other pics making it look brighter then it actually is. Hard to tell sometimes with Fluo. Maybe it will grow on me.

whether you call yellow or fluo or green or tennis ball, this jersey succks!!

Why cant oleg pay some real money to real designers? Even a high school kid will do better than this design.


The only good thing abt this jersey is tht no one else will go for this sh**ty color. So even if watching in a bad stream, we can always spot the saxo riders.

I hate the new colors. remind me of those neon color of Danile di luca team. I hope this is just for TDF. The yellow looks nicer than this greenish neon color.

Btw, the flag behind the back of the jersey might be the flag for each rider nations. So if it's russian flag who's russian?:D morkov?
