the lastest Pro Bibs for Garmin and Sky

[masking_agent]

So a question more specifically for the Bibs chamois of these two teams..

Does anyone know if Garmin are using castelli chamois and Sky is actually using Rapha's ? or do they still get their inserts from "Assos" ?

Thanks for any intel..

Why would they use ASSOS or anyone else's insert? The shorts are identical to commercial shorts. There are a few pair of Ryder's shorts on various people around town. (No he did not wear them) and they are the same insert as other shorts in their line.

many riders used to do this with their shorts because Assos chamois pad are considered the best in the industry.

Its Cytec chamois .. They already use them in the Rapha bibs.

+1 Rapha use Cytec chamois and so do Assos.

Because that is what pros have been doing for years. For example,

"Many PROs will get their chamois changed over to Assos as soon as they get their kit." http://www.cyclingtips.com.au/2010/12/pro-quirks-and-superstitions/

So Assos uses Cytec and Assos are Baby blue? Never seen blue inserts in any of the surplus Kit on pro sales day except for a local pro that road on BMC.
If sugoi uses Cytec inserts they are not ASSOS are they?
My point would be that ASSOS is a huge textile company too so if they are buying a Cytec insert it is Cytec and not ASSOS. I get they may be the same except for the colour. So Assos does not use Assos inserts either?

Assos and many other major brands get their chamois' from Cytec.
Their range is huge, and not limited to a single colour, or style, see http://www.elasticinterface.com/

Assos use Cytec but the design is exclusive to Assos.Not all Assos chamois is blue.I have one pair that is orange.
