Never, ever, work with a sprinter.

fun photos!
It kills me that at 10 years old they were probably already much faster than me ….
I love the helmet and expression on the child at right in the 94 photo!

Looks like another Schleck...
4th from the left in the team photo – link says it’s Steve. Definitely see the family resemblance.
love the pics!
good god...
…I just notice now: those shorts are actually made to look like jeans aren’t they? And not only jeans, but kind of acid-wash jeans! I think that’s officially the worst fashion faux pas I’ve ever seen!
Never forget
the Castorama kit from the early nineties. And you may be able to find worse here which seems to be a whole forum dedicated to historic team kits.
That is truly astounding.
Horrifying. Etc. Good god.
I once bought a cheap humidifier at Castorama. No joke. Damn thing was full of some weird solvent-like liquid…which spilled and stained the wood floor of the apartment I’d sublet in Paris. Which is my way of saying: I want one of those Castorama kits. Bad. I’m already growing my hair out to get the whole look.

The IT department gets more draconian by the day.
They’ve blocked the historic team kits! No Vuelta and I’m even denied this entertainment. I’ll never get through the day! But that Castorama thing-gargh! Never seen it before. It’s utterly hysterical.
I've just realised
Cyanide Studios are the people who make the Pro-Cycling Manager PC game. Which won’t work on my poor little underpowered computer.
I actually think the jeans look is pretty cool - considering the sponser.
Good marketing there and I bet it looks cooler to non-cycling fans than the traditional looking spandex does.

I guess...
…but do they have to be acid-wash-ish? It’s like Godard said that one time at Cannes: “If you’re going to make movies just to sell t-shirts, at least make them Armani t-shirts”!

LOL! Yes, regular jean look would've been way better.
