This is nicely done, in my opinion. Europcar's branding is quite uninspirational in itself but as I've said before here, monochrome jerseys and black shorts are still an attractive and dignified combination. Only bad thing is that the bike doesn't really appear to match.

Presumably they'd need a "TdF special" though?

We have a winner!

I'm not a huge fan of Europcar's jersey, but it's not white, it's not black, and it doesn't induce epileptic fits, so it's cool in my book.

Sorry. But when I see this kit, this is all I can think of....Then again that is kinda "retro"

Nice orange hair right there.

You maybe should have thought about that one before hitting the "Submit Reply" key. Honestly, how often do we see people of color in the top of professional road cycling-- edited by mod--. Quite disappointing.

meh its just humor. i thought it was very funny. i hate how every time we make a joke about some1 cus he is white or cus he is jew or cus he is asian and all that its fine, but if the person you make the joke about is black your a racist. its just stupid.

just my opinion . . .

They have two. Yohann Gène has been riding for them for years.

The 'new' black rider is Kevin Reza. He was a stagiare last year. He's from Guadeloupe, a French province in the Caribbean, same as Gène.

Vokler's national champ jersey is probably the worst one I have seen thus far. At least the national champ jerseys for Movistar and Leopard have a cohesive design aesthetic. Looks like they found an iron-on patch and slapped it on an old blue jersey someone had in the trunk of their car.

Would you call this joke anything other than racist? It's a stupid racist joke, that's all there's to it. It's not even funny.

Oh, and yes, Voeckler's jersey looks horrible. The rest of them are alright.

Well yeah, but I've never seen him before on the road. I know there was a black rider thx to PCM 2009. Yet I've never seen him race... and I've been looking for him though

And why is he wearing the Italian national champ jersey?

 

[luckyboy]

Bit disappointed because I thought the jersey would be this colour green. Still, it's not bad with the black shorts.

I get that it was meant to be funny, but it's not the type of humour that will sit on this site.

Everyone back on topic now.

If you want to discuss the fine line between racism and humour, there is a "General" forum for that.
