Bad Team Name???

The "Cervelo Test Team"

I was looking at the updates in the TTT today and seeing them ranked ninth or tenth consistently makes it look like the "Test" failed.

Perhaps if they had called the team "Cervelo", or anything else it would not make that impression.

While I admire the company for sponsoring a team in the tour calling it a "Test" team seems a little risky.

Anyone else see it that way or am I wrong?

"Spoiler alert" next time please, for those of us DVRing today's action.

To get back on topic, I thought that once they went to the new team kit featuring white shorts, maybe Cervelo Testes Team might have worked.

spoiler? would you really expect to visit a cycling site without accidentally seeing some info about the day's stage? :rolleyes:

I thinkl Cervelo Race Team sounds a little better.

Actually, yes. Over the past 8 or so years, this forum has been extremely considerate in that regard.

Actually, I think "test team" lowers the overall expectations.

Maybe it does lower expectations. Perhaps people should know they are testing the new 400 gram carbon fibre - paper mache' hybrid composite frame or something like that.
