USA cycling what have you done for me lately….

This week 

 Lorenzo Bandini, Ferrari, Monaco GP, 1967, his last, RIP

 

 

Most days in the Tour de France, the focus of the media is on the front of the race. That wasn't the case on Saturday when Mark Cavendish, who is hoping to break the all-time record for Tour de France stage wins this year, went out the back of the peloton on the first climb, more than 160 kilometres from the finish.

Cavendish could be seen vomiting while riding through his sufferfest, but was surrounded by teammates as he fought to make it to Rimini inside the time limit. He finally came through well within the 48-minute time cut.

He wasn't sick or having heat exhaustion, he was just suffering from the parcours, according to his team manager

Alexandre Vinokourov.

 Ayyy..although Tim has seemed to find his groove the last few weeks, he should be glad the choice of kits doesn’t effect his out put., now this is by no means a turd tossed at Timmy because we all know everyone including myself is fair game for TMS, but let’s just say..

just like Hawaiian print button downs, just cuz you can doesn’t mean you should…

I like the EVO kit..it’s a refreshing splash warmth in a world made of turquoise, pink and neon green..but dam I do have to dam my eyes on the contrast it does to Kroskes rig…too much going on..at least peal the big gawdy wheel stickers off..it’s ok to let old trends go..

2004 called wants you to know it’s ok if ya don’t represent her anymore…

The Bike shop had good intentions. Until it made its way above the waistline…then graphic designer must been on a time crunch or it Wednesday night and he had to get out to the race car track's …

And the skinny Canadian dude in the middle. either that's a washed out Hi-vis skinsuit, or he should leave the soft pastels to Baby Gap, and man o geez I’m not even touching the last one whoa!!!

This kit works almost as good as an Arnold burger and a pile of French fries and ketchup. The greys are dark enough, the Black is Black enuf..and the peach isnt too peachy to be a stain magnet 

Nothing remotely is acceptable of the O2 kit…but ayyy those folks haven’t been known to have much style…and I’m going way back to the old Antoons kit…

with exception of the Black kit a few million years back…

Race kits are kinda not to fashionable as of lately with the other doing races..

I’d pass on a reorder when the time comes..

Love the enthusiasm of the Rock n Roll crew, and the team must come from money cuz there ain’t a one that looks like they come hud housing..but they lose 2 cool points for not sticking with the same lids…

Always bet on black…

Race swagged jersey are cool…after you have a few Blatz 16 ounces and wanna do the drunken Mayberry hot lap..

But for a group ride where your probably going to get judged by which micro brew your gonna be sipping with Pasta J..

I’d say stick with a t shirt…

Ayyyyy
