Team bikes transfers or rumours 2013?

[Aguirre]

Do you have a link to the tweet? If so I can easily post the image

someone else did, I like it, looks gorgeous,

anyway, i will wait to see it live to judge properly. Canyon is my bike and I like so much this brand. paint jobs are usually very minimal, very german.

aeroroad goes so fast, I predict valverde and quintana going the same next season

Blue bar tape? Kill it with fire!!!!!!

Other then that it is pretty good.

It also seems like a hint that the Movistar kit will go back to it's 2011/2012 colour, because that blue doesn't match this years kit.

I don't think the tape is going to stay like that. It'll go to black, altough i don't see anything wrong with blue (but hey, you're the forum's fashion poice )

Also, goodby Selle Italia, Fi'zi:k looks much better.

I was surprised as well to see no Selle Italia as Movistar used to have it as sponsor from very long time; Fizik is sponsoring a lot of teams nowdays.

 

[The Chicken]

Nice looking ride IMO.

Wow! That looks great!

Belkin's Bianchi for 2014, from Stef Clement's twitter.

Looks very nice.

Cannondales bike, via Oscar Gatto on twitter. Nice looking bike and paint job, plus I notice some black mixed in there. The Cannondale kit was one of the good looking ones that went black, I believe they were the first to go black as well.

Trek making the big splash in it's maiden voyage with Sven Nys, Happy New Year!

Team Crelan-AA Drink hooks up with the Disc Braked Trek Boone for 2014.
This Cyclocross bike looks hot, and it took Nys to a resounding victory today, to start the New Year off just right!

 

[Michele]

Im curious to see if he will keep using the disc bikes cause he said recently he still prefer v-brakes.

One can imagine such a sponsor deal comes with considerable incentives. We shall see.

Team Giant-Shimano

It's official. Great looking kits! Probably the best I have ever seen from Giant in the WT level.

Speaking of which, do Felt still have a team, any team, for next year? I'm not sure Giant really makes better bikes than them, of course they have more $$$.

Felt is out of the WT.

 

[theyoungest]

Felt is out of the WT.

Yes, no WT team, I know that. But any team at all?

 

[Afrank]

Only ExergyTWENTY16 and individual athletes.

 

[TheEnoculator]

Actually, can anyone confirm if Giant is the title sponsor for only this year or 4 years? I heard from somewhere that Giant will be title sponsor for 4 years.

A qualified guess would be 4 year bike sponsor deal with additional cash this year for title rights.

Felt gets squeezed out again. Too bad good frames

 

[hfer07]

Belkin's Bianchi for 2014, from Stef Clement's twitter.

Looks very nice.

Quiet honestly I find aggravating the infamous "Bianchi Celeste blue trademark" bvllsh!t- the goddamn bike brand is already recognizable from Mars-then Why they keep limiting colour options with that half-a$$ blend sh!t??

damn

Yes, that's what this Dutch news site says: http://www.nu.nl/sport/3674146/giant-vier-jaar-hoofdsponsor-voormalige-argos-wielerploeg.html

It is also what @TourDeJose, who apparently was at the press conference, said on twitter: https://twitter.com/TourDeJose/status/422720879626551296

and:
Giant manager Davis confirms this is a FOUR year deal to be Giant-Shimano. Three teams: devo squad, women and men's WorldTour
https://twitter.com/TourDeJose/status/422723750308888576

The Giant-Shimano press release only talks about a multiyear deal, without being specific.

Efapel - Glassdrive leaves Jorbi bikes for Berria. Probably in Volta ao Algarve we´ll get the specific team design.

Pretty sweet looking bikes for Bardiani in 2014.

 

[42x16ss]

The top one looks like a converted TT bike!

Like the second one though, looks good

 

[Christian]

Trek Factory Racing team bike 2015

I wonder if that means the kit will change too?

Last year the team said they had considered going with a red kit but then went with the pinstripes instead.

This year they made a pretty big deal about this whole pinstripes thing though (#showyourstripes), it's kind of their brand symbol now, so hard to see them going back from that
