If they are still prototype models that style of paintwork is traditionally used to to make it harder for competitors to see the exact shape of the vehicle. Formula 1 has done similar
He did it to piss off the Anglo Saxons
The black and white one is prototype. This image was posted a couple days ago, looks pretty cool

I know this is sarcasm but he's been doing a lot of MTB since he retired, so I'm guessing it shouldn't pose too much of an issue. And FWIW I think he means the multi stage races like Cape Epic (which Purito rode a year or two ago) of course he's not going to compete in world cups

Purito was guest commentator during the Tour and the Vuelta and told some stories about his MTB races. He basically said that MTB handling skills are like ITT skills: either you have them or you can't get them at an old age.
Contador was a very good time trialist during the first half of his career. Later less so, but still in the upper third of ranks.
The day I knew it was time to retire - de velo
After a long and glorious career, Alberto Contador now tells the story about the day he realized it was time to retire from professional cycling.

You know, when I look back at that Vuelta, I understand why people shouted "Un año mas", because he was crazy strong, especially in the 3rd week. On the other hand though, best numbers ever before the TdF 2017 and all, he did still lose a dozen of seconds on PDBF, and even in that Vuelta, he did lose seconds to Froome in a couple of summit finishes, iirc. It was fun while it lasted, but sometimes I can't help and wonder of what could have been, if he had his Vuelta form two months earlier...
A gotta hand it to AC, even in retirement he gets so much fan admiration for his contribution to the sport. What a legacy he leaves. An inspirational and courageous rider and I think a nice guy off the bike too. Obviously huge ability but also he had huge courage and this is what I most respected him for. Kudos.
I loved this revelation

Contador also revealed more details about better known incidents, such as how he had to buy wheels from an external source - the Milram team - because the TT wheels in the squad were reserved for Armstrong.
apparently this "debate" of versions will continue ...

Big respect for AC how he handled Lance in the 2009 Tour. Was the 2009 Tour his most impressive performance all things considering? Big call I know since he had so many highlights. I was not a fanboy of his but personally I had huge respect. A highlight for me was how he handled himself at the 2011 TdF. Crashes and Giro fatigue got him in the end but he went down fighting. Even the stage 20 TT he performed superbly despite the aforementioned disadvantages.
Huge talent but also huge heart. I also like that today he has the courage to speak out. This maybe a reflection of his courage while he raced.

^^+1 I'm becoming more of a fan. My view of him was colored for a long time by his "forced vacation" from the sport but I think in the long run that won't matter much. He really did ride with a panache you don't see much of any more.
