    If you could turn pro for any pro tour team who would you go with?

    I`d ride for Trek. I love the Madone's, I like the jerseys and Segafredo is nice coffee. Also sponsored by ZipVit & their gels are actually really nice. Though with Contador joining that might change, I don't want to have to be at the front all day every day in the tour.

    Sky would be my last choice, too much getting bottles & controlling the bunch.

    I would reach for the Sky

    That would certainly bring them down a peg or ten.....

    BTW Friday is not here yet!

    Cannondale, absolutely love the colour!

    Not worked up the balls to order and wear a full set of gear yet even though it would match my bike superbly.

    Does it have to be World tour? Can I not have Roompot with their horrible brown jersey or Topsport Van Vlandaaren?

    they/them/theirs

    Sky for me...

    If they can turn Froome from a **** cyclist that was going to be dropped into a tour winner within 2 years, they might work some magic on me :o

    ....I would have said Trek ...all those old guys down the back of the peloton may have made me seem not so bad ...plus guess they are best to hang with down the back of they bus especially Zubeldia ...no ?

    However most seem to be retiring ..making way for Contador ...where i guess thing will get very serious and tough....Don't really want to ride a train or be ridiculed on Twitter as not being a good enough Dom for Contador

    So its BMC , where the jersey is nice ... the riders are good ,, you don't need to be an ounce above organ faiure and they keep you forever ....oh and yes Nico will be there

    The single best description of being a pro rider that I have ever read. Brilliant!

    Etixx Quick Step. Going back to my (overweight) youth, always fancied myself as classics rider, mainly as I couldn't climb a speed bump. I'm sure I could bring my current work ability of doing most things right, and the fecking up in the final so I'd fit right in. Added bonus is that half my gear already comes from Lidl...
