Ya - speedsuits or 'onesies', I think a couple manufacturers are making them now. Svein Tuft swears by them and uses them all the time. They look like a skinsuit. But the back is made of normal jersey fabric and they have two small rear pockets - like a speed jersey. In front they have a zipper so you can pull out your unit and wee.bobbins said:They're not skinsuits, they are speed suits.
And you are right, a ban would be an appropriate deterrent. It's time road racers realised that they are and made an effort to look the part instead of looking like *** heads.
And what's next? Having the riders put their bidons in cages on the handlebars?shouldawouldacoulda said:Another interesting thing about these suits is... that the UCI will actually ban them. Or so they said at meetings in November. They damage the 'identity' of cycling. Something about making it look too different from the 60's/70's.
Oh dear. They really are just past the EDGE of being a laughing stock.TeamSkyFans said:The edge of "Medicine".. seriously, what idiot thought that was a good idea?

As long as the Aussies themselves aren't embarrassed, it's alright I guess.Libertine Seguros said:I was thinking similarly - maybe Pegasus were actually less embarrassing for Aussies.
im really struggling to comprehend how in the middle of a brainstorming session someone came up with medicine and everyone agreed.Andy99 said:Oh dear. They really are just past the EDGE of being a laughing stock.
Maybe the UCI would have been better off just giving Pegasus the token Aussie licence last year..?
It seems pretty obvious to me its relating to the catchphrase "Cutting Edge".TeamSkyFans said:im really struggling to comprehend how in the middle of a brainstorming session someone came up with medicine and everyone agreed.
The edge of medicine.. what does it even mean...

I understand that but sports medicine is such a big thing in all sports it's stupid to link it to doping.Libertine Seguros said:I think you're not getting what Dim isn't getting.
Dim isn't failing to understand because he doesn't understand the concept of something being "the edge of...". He doesn't understand why a cycling team would select a slogan which implies that they are at the cutting edge of medicine, which draws immediate links to doping. Dim can't see how that was suggested by somebody who has links to a cycling team, and everybody agreed it was a good idea, not one person thought "hang on, doesn't this imply..."
It's the 'medicine' part that is being questionedBM1979 said:It seems pretty obvious to me its relating to the catchphrase "Cutting Edge".

exactly.. i understand the whole edge thing.. its a bit naff, but hey, sky have marginal gains and the thin blue line so why not..Andy99 said:It's the 'medicine' part that is being questionednot what bl0ody edge means.
I'm sure the intentions are entirely innocent, but linking medicine with cycling is really pretty naiive isn't it??
exactly, nothing sinister. its just a word that serves no purpose on their advertising, except to make people wonder what drugs Nygaard is on to let that one through.auscyclefan94 said:When I saw a that poster a while ago I thought it was a bad idea. Not a good look.
No doubt a fitting addition to your already stellar list of thread creations.auscyclefan94 said:LOL! I am so making a thread about this. It is the off season so I don't think it will hurt.![]()
Mouris fits the mold, time trialist, that sprinters can hide behind. Weening... decent rider for breaks in mountain stages, no? (best I could come up with)Dekker_Tifosi said:Aside from the abundance of Australians, I find it funny that the second highest nationality is Dutch (3 riders). I wonder why they went for such random riders like Weening and Mouris as well. Langeveld I can follow why, but the other two?
I know, but guess if you allow a walnut to type enough articles it may accidentally write something interesting.Timmy-loves-Rabo said:Tan's cycling knowedge is the equivalent of what a walnut might know.
