Live coverage of the Tour de France Teams Presentation
Live coverage of the Tour de France Teams Presentation is on NOW via Cyclingfans.com. They have both video and English audio streams available.
Garmin-Chipotle (Slipstream) is up first.... I think I like the new unis... cool!
Anyone else out there excited about all this? I thought I might not be with Astana not in it anymore, but it seems like I'm excited anyway!
That should be enough... on to the presentation... Enjoy!

The audioless Eurosport feed keeps freezing on me
But I’m still watching, rather than doing any work! :-)
Did Columbia go yet?
Go Team Zoe!

So totally agree. They all so need to stick with dark bottoms.
It should be written rule somewhere.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Someone affiliated with Columbia must read the Podium Cafe

Maybe it was all the letters plugging Lyne and Gavia for their PR... LOL!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
yep, Gavia and I have been giving them advice
yeah right.
so what does the kit look like? can’t find a photo, missed the team presentation (must not cry at work)
I thought George looked good in it :-)
I think they’re okay.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
They have all black bottoms! Yeah!

close to milram blue from cav's photo

I have not seen anyone with that dress
but the pictures that i see, seems ugly…
i liked much more the white high road…
okay the Gavia & Lyne show need to talk to the boys about the aerodynimicity of a good haircut
egads!
Did anyone notice the haircuts on the garMEN?
So laughing after some fun teasing the past couple weeks. Ryder, Pate, Dean, and Millar all appear to have buzz cuts and C’s is considerably shorter than usual. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Noticed that some of the Columbia riders
have their countries flag symbols on their arms and collar. Is that for ex-National champs?
I was thinking I would really be able to crank out the work
today (seeing as it’s the last for 3 weeks) and silly me.
What on earth was I thinking… that work stuff is so over rated.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I cant get the english audio to work
anyone have a direct link?
Go Team Zoe!

I've got them both on
but they’re not exactly coordinated, I don’t think (only checking video sporadically since I’m at least pretending to work)
Tomorrow is my birthday and they knew I'd be busy all day.
Go Team Zoe!

Thanks! 43 if anyone is wondering
43 is the new 33
Go Team Zoe!
Cavendish, Di Gregorio, Fothen, Kirchen
, Kreuziger, Lowe, Siutsou
, Ten Dam
, Y.Trofimov and Vandevelde
Sweet. So in 10 years I'll be 33 again! That rocks! ha ha!
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Happy birthday
contemporary!

Remember all

Aren't presentations usually 2 days before?
Are all the medical photo ops check ups done?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
I did too,
and I’m very upset that I won’t get to see one of the riders holding a stethoscope and pretending to be a doctor!
Those white bibs make no sense whatsoever

Hey Nikki
Did you see George flash that big beautiful smile to us?
Go Team Zoe!

, Y.Trofimov and Vandevelde
Oh yes. He was all sweet and the close up was great.
Mr. Adam Hansen was looking pretty cute too. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
now CdE's kit...
I love it. The black kinda looks stealthy, coupled with those Pinarellos. Suh-weet.
and it sets off their (mostly) dark Spanish skin perfectly.
Go Team Zoe!

so heart the caisse kit.
and can i have one of those bikes, pleez, pleez? i’ve been verrrry good this year…
Can they really get rid of the cuts to the studio people.
I don’t care about them. I’d like to stick to seeing the riders.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Well unless they have Benna there. Then they can show themselves.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Most of the coaches have matching suits, ties and shirts
some match down to the belt and shoes. Cute. Matchy matchy.

anybody else...
feel the urge to give Virenque an open-handed slap to the face when they cut to him?
yes! You read my mind.
Go Team Zoe!

Okay my work production went from about 94%
up to about 40 minutes ago down to maybe a ill fated 3% and that’s just acknowledging emails coming in.
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
CSC went with black bibs. Good choice.

Puh-leeeze someone tell me
I’m not the only one who thinks Cadel Evans looks like Mark Hamill in The Empire Strikes Back (after he got whacked by the abominable snow man)?
I think he looks like William H. Macy
Same large runny eyes.
more like the grinch with the evil smile

new PdC lexicon?
Maybe if we use schleck (with a lower case ’s’), it can be a verb to describe stacking it for no apparent reason.
you mean like, "Man that rider did a schleck"?
Go Team Zoe!
Cavendish, Di Gregorio, Fothen, Kirchen

, Ten Dam

Or... ouch... did you see him get schlecked on that turn?
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
Yeah, exactly.
and “what happened to so-and-so?”
“Dude, he’s was bombing down a descent and totally schlecked himself.”
Are those models with the jerseys?
too small to see
Go Team Zoe!

Back to work for me...
That was fun! I’ll “see” you all back here in just two days!!

Did anyone else see Thor?
He looked half of his (normal) size, veins almost pumping out of his arms…
Never seen him so skinny before.
I was thinking the same
his arms were not ‘filling’ the shirt arms
that sounds strange…
by King of Doping on Jul 3, 2008 2:25 PM EDT up reply actions
He has been thin all spring
Plus he has been sick for nearly a week, I don’t know if maybe he lost a few pounds because of that
dang - Thor is my green jersey pick
does he have cold or flu?
Something like that , they haven't said specifically
He lost about a week of training but his trainer says he’s back on track and has had some trainingrides before leaving for France.
I got to get back to work also.
Dang.

sheesh what's this with the white kits already
Saunier-Duval kept the lovely (meh) black cutout but went with new white outfit (photo)
er why?
I think that's Rubens Bertogliati
Definitely the hottie of the SD Tour squad. Good eye there, lyne!
by Susie Hartigan on Jul 3, 2008 8:30 PM EDT up reply actions
oooh, rubens is a hotty
somehow, forgot he was riding this thingy. these team presentations, so informative
Why would you go with dirt-grey shoes
and socks when you have (ill-advisedly, I think we all agree) changed the bibs to gleaming white?
And they retained the teeny little gonad-shaped cutout!
SD = fashion disaster. As in, “What Were They Thinking?”
Fabian called it team Sexy Bank!
Did you see this?
Team CSC Saxo Bank also showed off their new jersey, with Fabian Cancellara jokingly calling it Sexy Bank.
