orica took a step backward i think, their logo is so small, the zip clearly cuts it in half (hidden zips people??)

 

Not too too bad

Their lids look cool though

 

(Below Gerrans takes his 2nd Aussie national colours yesterday)

It is a bit odd. you've lost a lot of real-estate with the big plain area at the bottom. Jeez it's going to be hard to work out who's where this year it's all dark colours and black n whites. That fluo kit is going to stand out like figs on a staffy.

 

Nice to see cuddles getting second. Wonder what he can do this year.

See that Sylvain Chavanel (ex QuickStep) has signed with Team IAM for 2014, along with Mathias Frank (ex BMC)

 

Nice colors but not the best use of them...to dark

Must be tough out there if Chavanel had to sign for Pro Conti team, same as LL Sanchez but I guess better than Horner that is still without contract.

Heard they (IAM) have got a rather large budget (10 Million Swiss Franks for 2014) and suspect they paid Chav a fair amount to move. Adding some Frenchies to the team to try get a entry into the TDF

 

"Sylvain Chavanel, who was the team's big signing over the winter, can be seen in the new kit for the first time. The Frenchman and his teammate Jérôme Pineau switched from the Omega Pharma-QuickStep team. It is hoped that Chavanel's presence will secure the Swiss team a place in the Tour de France. They missed out last year, with the three spots going to French teams"

IMO Horner despite his win in Spain is to old for a serious team to invest in him

Sure they'll get the nod for the TdF.

 

There seems to be 2 views on Horner - his demands were too high or his result was suspicious.

Horner could've signed ProConti but, reportedly, insists to defend the Vuelta crown.

No World Tour team is touching him.

Horner is in talk with Caja Rural apparently. He's switched management to aussie ex-pro Baden Cooke who is trying to broker the bike sponsor to cover Horners salary rather than the team. Caja have just signed LL Sanchez are the 2nd biggest team in Spain now and will almost certainly be invited to the Vuelta hence Horner sniffing around.

 

IAM have got a few good riders out of the pro team melt down at the end of last year and could be a good squad to watch (even though I reckon Haussler isn't the man for leadership roles).

 

Interesting to see who's in the mix for the 3 wild spots for the Giro and who's turned up in what team.
