Cervelo Test Team Kit.
Anybody check the innerwebs lately for some kit updates? Here's the Cervelosians (?) head-shots with the top 1/3 of the jersey visible.
Gav's note: Definitely take a look at the profiles that Cervélo TestTeam has done for their riders. Very entertaining and a cut above the standard rather boring fare.

Hope the white continues on the back of the jersey
so we can tell them easily from Caisse in a bunch sprint.
One place to keep an eye on is the 2009 shirts and materials forum over at www.procyclingmanager.com. People have been leaking kits there with a fair amount of accuracy. They even had a possible version of Columbia’s new design, but it got pulled before I saw it.
Google is my domestique.
I think that looks quite classy.
Some rather entertaining profiles too…more than just the usual questions!
Sponsor's name
Middle of the chest, big letters. What more do you want? Visconti’s appearance worries me more. I thought he looked a bit skinny at the Giro presentation but he is starting to look positively Ethiopian. And spotty too, that’s never a sign of a good diet.
BUt he does look HOT in his Facebook Profile

It’s showing up now for me… anyone else?

nice bios, and nice that the women and men are mixed in together
So I stumbled upon this:
Emma Pooley
What is your favourite food? Oranges, Chocolate, Biberli
Do you have any pets or hobbies? Pet Basil plant.
I had to look up "biberli"
Either a Swiss Christmas cookie or little beavers (tender like veal?).

Are cyclists destined to look goofy in headshots? Reminds me of school pictures.
Did you see the Sastre shot? Heh. Heinrich Haussler and Serge Pauwels however do look darling and Thor’s little blonde tuft of hair is cute.
Check out Simon Gerrans.
He’s tiny, so you see more of him.
Kinda Bobble-Head effects on some of those pics!

Anyone notice from these shots that cyclist have great smile lines?
I really like smiley eye wrinkles in…well, anyone, actually. (One of the 10,000 reasons I don’t understand botox—I guess it’s ideal for people who frown a lot and smile rarely.) Sure, some of it is just weathering, and tears from fast downhills, but several of the guys have great smile lines. Rollin, Saste, Roulston, Hausler, Gomez-Marchante, Reimer (!) Pujol and Thor to particularly good advantage. And Gustov is adorably bobble-headed. Maybe he has big brains.
Speaking of Reimer
Hobbies are “Surfing the Internet and drinking coffee”—sounds like he’d fit in perfectly at PdC.
Google is my domestique.
Rollin looks lovely.
He can cook too…what more could a girl want? Marchante likes playing petanque with his grandfather; awww, isn’t that homely?
Aren't most cyclists fairly homely
Italian TV had a biopic of Pantani’s life a couple of years ago and the bit I remember most was when marco was driving his Ape to go fishing with his grandad. Who needs a Ferrari.
Pics of McEwen in Katyusha kit
(seeing as he missed the team presentation etc in Moscow) – at CN in the Jayco Bay Cycling Classic series reports, such as here. Presumably he has some deal with the organizers and/or with Katyusha that he has to wear Katyusha kit rather than the “Bike Hub team” kit which is the team he’s on for this series (as far as I can see, only he and Graeme Brown get to wear their regular kit – Gerrans, Renshaw, O’Grady for instance are all in the “locally sponsored team” kit).
On that note, I was wondering whether (couldn’t remember) Saxo Bank and Columbia have revealed their jerseys for this year …
We saw the Saxo Bank-IT Factory kit at the team presentation
You know, the day it was revealed that IT Factory was bankrupt. So the best guess is that, only without the IT Factory name. And plus any new sponsors they might come up with in the meantime.
Don’t think Columbia has been revealed yet.

Looking tough in that is tough
but I actually think the jerseys don’t look that bad

Was that ..ahem "joke" really necessary?

Oh mess your hair up a bit..add Gel..
Such a great looking guy, but it’s the hair not the jersey that makes this shot look bad…

I don't mind the hair there....
The foppish Hugh Grant look is a good thing IMHO. I’m so going to love these jerseys :-)
Who cares about the hair
he’ll be wearing a helmet during races anyway, I just want my leenoos to get some nice wins this year.

Ok, the hair is oh so very important
obviously someone can’t win without good hair, except for Rebellin.
"If you go (with a break), you can either win or not win. If you don't go for it, you definitely won't win."
~ Jens Voigt
If he wins, he'll be on the podium.
Cameras snapping, photos shooting out around the world. TV (well, in Europe), newspapers, internet. Good hair might not be essential, but it will help publicize the sport.
Therefore, if Leeenoos really wants to help save German cycling, he will get himself some hair gel.
Google is my domestique.
Well if it means saving German cycling, than Leenoos better get some gel
looks like Ciolek got the gel thing a bit better

Oh yes, PdC ladies are here to help

But it made me giggle....
Maybe the aussie coming out in me..

Looks a little soft to me
Tough wouldn’t be a word that I would use, maybe girly.
If I just had one more gear, I...
Who pissed on that jersey?
I liked the blue, and hey they were winning a bunch with it, why change to yellow? When I heard that Milram was going to the cow kits I thought that Leenoos might regret his choice to switch teams, but after seeing that I must say the Milram kits look better, at least in my view they do. We’ll see how they look in races but look what happened to the last yellow kits, Saunier-Duval, Stapleton is warned.

Ohhh I don't like..
reminds me of BMX Jersey… Damn them the blue looked good..

Yikes, that's horrid.
For starters, yellow doesn’t suit that many people, and secondly, what’s with the lines down the front which look like external ribs?! Gargh! The blue was so nice and classy but this is yucky.
Oh no
Not good. For starters, did they get a discount on 2005 CSC graphics?

Well, I boycott teams in yellow for VDS purposes…have to see what that’s going to do to my lineup.
I don't mind.
My number one criterion for a kit is that it’s distinctive enough so that I can tell the team at a glance in a packed field. I don’t think anyone else is wearing yellow, are they?
And they did give us a clue.
Historical note: it’s not like Columbia’s blue kit got raves here when it was revealed. Maybe after a few wins this one will grow on folks, too.

Tru dat
I panned it… then bought one.

lol
I don’t mind the color – it’ll be easy to see on teevee. But the funny ab design, gah, not a fan of that.
Wasn't Columbia promoting
their sun guard fabric? I guess they’re just highlighting the “sun” part more obviously.
Thanks, that what I was thinking when I saw it.
But I thought it was for my love of CSC to pull that thought. :-)
"The most wasted day is that in which we have not laughed."
New Liquigas kit!
Following on from Columbia’s awful offering, I am pleased to report that Liquigas have got rid of their arrows pointing to a certain place. Here is the new design as modelled by sometime cyclo-crosser Enrico Franzoi yesterday. And here he is on the bike, showing the full kit.
I'm having real problems locating his groin
I think they will have to change it back.

Not all Italians are stallions.
But seriously, if you’re going to force riders to wear lime green, you should snazz it up a bit. This year’s model is boring.
Google is my domestique.
I have grown accustomed
to having full groinal awareness on all LiQ riders at all times. I guess I just assumed that since TPTB on Liquigas put so much emphasis on that detail, it was important.
Carlos Sastre - Tour de France winner - Born From Jets
Sing it!
I’d grown accustomed to their junk, in that Liquigas lime green
I’d grown accustomed to their kit showing off each manly bit
There to be found each up each down
Were second nature to me then, but no longer to be seen
I never had to ask the fellas "How are they hanging, guys?"
I could always see it clearly with my very own two eyes
I ‘d grown accustomed to their stuff, accustomed to their bulge,
Accustomed to their junk

Now I won't be able to watch the podium
if there are any Leaky guys up there.
LoL That just made me spit my drink everywhere.... Classic

kinda blah
Nice shade of blue, but I really liked their old kit.
Sigh, maybe we could just go back to 2008?
Wow. I just googled "cervelo test team kit" and guess what came up first?
Chris, are adequately prepared for world domination?
Even for more generic searches
I googled “Fuji-Servetto” to see if they had a website. Guess what came up first?
UPDATE
Looks like maybe the Women’s Team is a little different look than the Men’s (White main color on the jersey instead of black).
