How about sacrificing some of those colors? Look at what OPQ did for Brammeier:

Not half bad.

OPQ didn't invent that style though. It goes back to the days of Kelly & Roche.
And is one of the most beautiful champion's jerseys there are, in my opinion.

Bit nippy out there lads

I wonder whether Cavendish'll get away with the black shorts.

 

[Dancing On The Pedals]

I wonder whether Cavendish'll get away with the black shorts.

Why wouldn't he?

 

[whittashau]

Same as last year:

Ted King mentioned a new kit on his blog, it's definitely not the same.

Well. Brad looks cold.

Brads shirt got the Dutch national flag on it.. Awkward.

 

[Thomsena]

Knee high socks have never looked that great on anyone have they?

 

[Captain_Cavman]

Why wouldn't he?

Aren't they against UCI regs?

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Aren't they against UCI regs?

I know the black shorts haven't been in fashion for WCs much lately but they're fine.

Heck, Óscar Freire and Tom Boonen just wore their regular team shorts - Freire rode for MAPEI at the time! If that's fine then, well, the plain black shorts are Sky's standard ones, right?

Aren't they against UCI regs?

UCI regs regarding the WC jersey/kit can be found here: http://www.uci.ch/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=&ObjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=NDE5NDk&LangId=1

The only thing I can find explicitly about the shorts is 'The wearer of the world champion jersey is entitled to match the colour of his shorts to the colour of the jersey.'

 

[Thomsena]

You got to undestand Cav a bit though.

Georgie-boy says hallo.

Excuse me if this has been posted already but this pic caught my eye...
what a pair

(erm...if someone wants to make it bigger..)

 

[Eric8-A]

That looks horrible.

 

[AntonioRossi]

That looks horrible.

+1. It is pretty bad

 

[Parrulo]

just a little side note.

what do you guys think of the local cycling club kit?

 

[mewmewmew13]

Pretty sharp Parrulo!
I like it

 

[slowoldman]

No, it isn't. Movistar is a phone company, the spanish word for "mobile" is "móvil". Nothing with movies.

My mistake, you learn something new everyday.

Lol you're not that old are you?

46, the eyes started going at 40.

The only thing I can find explicitly about the shorts is 'The wearer of the world champion jersey is entitled to match the colour of his shorts to the colour of the jersey.'

Right. The WC is allowed to wear his standard team bibs (whatever the colour is) or a special edition (white) which has to fulfill certain UCI regulations.

Cav already had a white HTC version of his bibs back in October which was 'illegal' (like his WC jersey). There was a big discussion and the team was sanctioned for Cav's and Martin's wrong jerseys/suits.

If I remember right, he has worn his white bibs once (for training) and than said he will (or better must) stick with the standard HTC bibs for the rest of the season.

 

[Captain_Cavman]

My mistake then, thanks. I remembered some hooha about Cavendish's WC shorts but obviously got the wrong end of the stick.

 

[LaFlorecita]

UCI regs regarding the WC jersey/kit can be found here: http://www.uci.ch/Modules/BUILTIN/getObject.asp?MenuId=&ObjTypeCode=FILE&type=FILE&id=NDE5NDk&LangId=1

Which would be white, right?

 

[ruswilks]

Whilst on the subject of WC shorts, how did Cadel get away with his black and white shorts? They weren't standard team issue or designed to the UCI specification, was it just a case of the UCI not enforcing the rule?

 

[Ryo Hazuki]

That looks horrible.

oh god it does indeed.

Yeah. Always has annoyed me that. No idea why, but the same arrangement has been used in athletics for years. (probably before Holland was even invented )
