they make their own. ball bought the sublimation machines so he could do his own kit at will. he even made special kit for the puerto three with thorns like jesus... and it happened overnight.

Oh cool!

Hey swoop, if you can buy a small from someone at the TOC, let me know!
But not the ones from the Puerto guys... They seem to be kind of religious.... :D

Worst jersey? No. That goes to Team High Road. Like a bag of Wonderbread. Looks like they put it together at a Kinko's at the last second.

I think any one of us could have done better by going to Verge's web site and playing with their templates. Even frickin' zebra stripes would have looked better than this!

Like last year, they will change with each race and Ball's mood/message.

Great idea if you ask me...but you didn't but i still said it.

For the record, I think the current kit is a lot nicer than zebra stripes!!!

Do like the color scheme, but the juvenile skull with wings needs to stay in the trailer-park.

OK, maybe the jerseys are cool or an acquired taste.

But while everyone else was being trailed by station wagons or minivans, Rock racers were being trailed by new Cadillac CTSs.

The rest of the field looked like beep-beep cars.

Oh - thank you for pointing that out! Earlier this morning I was cruising Google image for a pic of this to share. At best Dave Z. is trying to look like Ned Overend. At worst, he's got the porn star look. Either way, it's a fashion "don't."

Boy, did he take a load of cr*p at the start house. A lot of jokes about washing his face or the relative loss of aerodynamics.

And, um ... what, exactly, does a porn star look like? Hmm?

Hey,

I thought those things were for the Harley D crowd, not the trailer park.... :D

I could live without the skull, but you gotta give them some credit... the green/black scales, reminds me of some sort of frog man monster! Cool... :D

The retailer I work for sells R&R jeans.
We've asked about the cycling kits
but they aren't selling them,
as of right now anyway.

Yeah ... 3-series wagons. I used to have two. No big deal. The CTS, on the other hand, is bad-*ss.

Why did M. Ball walk into his press conference/rider intro wearing a full team kit skin suit? Had he just been out riding with his guys?

Or is that just more of his schtick - showing up in full team racing gear? I wonder when an NFL owner will show up in full pads or an NBA owner in a basketball uniform.

Sugar
mmm ... ooh

She sits alone waiting for suggestions
He's so nervous avoiding all her questions
His lips are dry, her heart is gently pounding
Don't you just know exactly what they're thinking?

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

He's acting shy looking for an answer
Come on, honey, let's spend the night together
Now hold on a minute before we go much further
Give me a dime so I can phone my mother
They catch a cab to his high rise apartment
At last he can tell her exactly what his heart meant

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
[Do Ya Think I'm Sexy lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]

If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so

His heart's beating like a drum
'Cause at last he's got his girl home
Relax, baby, now we are alone

[break]

They wake at dawn 'cause all the birds are singing
Two total strangers but that ain't what they're thinking
Outside it's cold, misty and it's raining
They got each other, neither one's complaining
He say's I'm sorry but I'm out of milk and coffee
Never mind, sugar, we can watch the early movie

If you want my body and you think I'm sexy
Come on, sugar, let me know
If you really need me just reach out and touch me
Come on, honey, tell me so
Tell me so, baby

All that stuff was kind of cool half a decade ago when Vogue models started wearing genuine oldschool metal T-shirts (the classic Motorhead 'England' T for instance)... but now that it's been watered down to a 'generic ornaments and skulls' style and has filtered down to R&B bands, hip hop pimps and Wallmart mass market level... I'm thinking it's beyond it's use-by date.

imo, fwiw, anyway.

Scroll down for close up of R&R De Rosa. This may already have been posted and therefore old news. A little on the showy side for my taste but Ball is succeeding at getting the publicity that he seeks.

Last night while watching stage one, my lady strolled into the room at the same time as the RR commercial. She said they looked bad@$$. That was the coolest comment a hot chick can give a bike tv commercial right ?

bike racers in cute kit aren't badarse. guys that solo to win a classics are badarse.

guys that have no remorse for cheating and don't respect the sport enough to stay out of the way and let guys that are racing get the attention aren't badarse... they're pathetic.


entitlement and victimhood aren't badarse. ugly mustaches are.

I read somewhere that the kits the team wears will change for each major race they compete in?
