I have to see the pantaclones in action first, before I can fully judge them, but I'm very annoyed by the space between the o and the ë in Citroën. I also wish they had changed their jerseys as well.

Well... what's not to like?

I love those! I want those!

Seeing this race on the calendar always reminds me of Cadel showing his class in the rainbow jersey in that Giro stage and that Moreno Moser is only 32, younger than Primoz Roglic.

What on earth happened there.

Alpecin women's team looks like the national team of Greece

Paris-Nice and T-A co-exist fine, but the problem really is Strade + P-N. I'd really like something to be done about that, but I have no clue how to do it. It really sucks that if you're riding P-N, its super hard for you go ride Strade as well.. on the other hand, its pretty great since you can consider Strade a superb race which randomnly fell into our lap, and now were talking about changing up the schedule a bit to combine those races easier.

I think it's something we're going to have to 'suck it up'; unless RCS thinks it's sensible to move it to the other end of the season and a possible double header with Il Lombardia.......Which I think is unlikely....It's current position seems to suit most riders, would that be the case if it moved?


A short preview/ recce by who else, but Puck:

Are there any great slots and the end of the season though?

It looks like Trek has become the new EF. Will they ever announce their line-ups or has Tiberi shot their SoMe team after seeing the Omloop poster?

It's a nice design, although I feel that bright colors show up better on sunny days and leave a stronger impression on races like this and Roubaix. Still, for one or two teams to go dark makes a good variation and it looks cool as is.

First someone links the Puck recon again, then it's the fantasy AG2R jersey design and now this. Do people not read the threads anymore?

It's all related to SB.

But we don't need see it more than once.

Also you can find the post on her twitter as well.

I haven't posted anything from the race.
And yes, the picture has been posted, but the important bit - the "12.5 levels excitement" - hasn't.

Well it pretty much goes without saying that she would be though.

Still we sing with our heroes, 33 rounds per minute
We're never going home until the sun says we're finished
I'll love you forever if I ever love at all
Wild hearts, blue jeans, & white t-shirts
