2011 Pro Team Kit & Bikes

Good luck to the commentators trying to tell the difference between Garvelo, Sky, Leopard and to a lesser extent Saxobank next year!

If they can perfect the technology, maybe a Sims-type arrow plus the name of the GC contender in those teams named above.;)

If they all had license plates we could clearly identify them before they ride off into the distance. Damn road tax dodgers!

Have to say I like the jersey. Are they love handles I see on Cancellara? :eek:

Maybe he is pacing himself to win LBL and Lombardia this year.

Leopard still don't have a main sponsor I see. I wonder how that's going to go for them. They no doubt have a hefty wage bill.

This piece in the Boulder Report explains the current funding situation. Businessman Flavio Becca is the team's main backer, which means in theory they shouldn't need a main sponsor. Still, the sponsor sized hole on those jerseys indicates that they expected to land one or at least hope to get one soon.

I see Twitter are one of Radioshack's sponsors this year.

More stuff on the Leopard sponsorship issue. Looks like Belgacom might have pulled out on them as a headline sponsor.

That shack jersey is much nicer than last years. Lance embraced Twitter, may have helped get them on board.

It's not "Leopard", it's LEOPARD TREK, pronounced "LAY-oh-pard Trek" and IT MUST BE CAPITALIZED IN WRITTEN COMMUNICATION.

Trek internal e-mail wrote:

As you discuss the team, both internally and externally, please follow these naming standards:
• The team name is LEOPARD TREK. Please do not insert the word “team” before LEOPARD TREK, in writing or conversation, as that is not part of the official name.
• When the word “team” immediately follows LEOPARD TREK, do not capitalize “team” (except in German, of course).
• In written communication, LEOPARD TREK must be set in all caps.
• In spoken communication, please use the appropriate pronunciation: LAY-oh-pard Trek.
INCORRECT: The new Team Leopard Trek includes...
CORRECT: The new LEOPARD TREK team includes...

INCORRECT: Trek announces sponsorship of Team LEOPARD TREK, the world’s #1...
CORRECT: Trek announces co-title sponsorship of LEOPARD TREK, the world’s #1...

Thanks for your help in establishing the proper team name standards.

Since you mention it, I am quite disturbed by her excessive over-ankling, not to mention the inexplicable over-pouting.



edit: also note the Mavic R-sys product placement at 2:39.

Her set-up on that bike looks all wrong to me. Its almost like the frame is too small for her or something. Its not like wearing a top 2 sizes too small (which she does fantastically well i may add)....

I like the fact that the Avonmore logo goes over the nips.

I like the fact it's black which means my belly won't be so evident

They need a crotchal sponsor to finish it off properly.

I'd recommend approaching Todger (possibly NSFW). The "Todger Slimer" is definitely an undersold product in English speaking countries.
