    wwwwait… Disgusting thing that they (allegedly) did, and if they did it, they should make lavish personal reparation – not talking about money but about change and working to help others and changing their friends. If they did it. They haven't been tried or convicted; innocent till proven guilty.

    ‘It never gets easier, you just get faster’. After registering my 46th fastest time up Stocking Lane this morning (out of 47 attempts) I wish to dispute the second part of this saying...

    When fighting a gorilla, you don't stop, when you get tired. You keep going until the gorilla gets tired.

    Or something....

    If you hang around when a gorilla starts a fight, you have already lost.

    One of the things I like about me bike is the lack of Whatsapp, Netflix.......

    I hope they keep making a 500 like unit for a bit longer.

    500 is still, hands down, the best Garmin out there.

    Some of next years proteam jerseys have been released with a few noticeable changes
    AG2R - Is suppose less brown can only be a good thing

    BIG Changes for Etixx but not sure about the lidl logo

    Androni seem to have toned things down a bit

    Movistar - A subtle change but Valvarde's national champions jersey is a disgrace

    Movistar are very protective of the jersey and bike colours from what I hear. They pays the wages and Valverde is the big star so they want their logo and colours to be prominent on him.

    I always thought that AG2R's jersey got unnecessarily bad press.

    Lovely IAM kit again. Rumours that Katusha are switching to black.

    Agree about the IAM kit.

    Sneak previews i have seen suggest that the katusha kit will be predominately red

    I actually preferred this years IAM kit, it looks very white, not a fan of that. Great design though.

    I don't mind the Movistar kit, but Valverde's Nat Champs kit just looks badly designed, I don't mind its lack of prominence. The white again just looks bad IMO.

    The Etixx jersey and shorts don't 'go' together. I know they're limited with sponsors but the black striping on the jersey going into nothing but a lidl square is a bit jarring/shyte looking.

    AG2R I quite like, I don't mind the brown at all and the white is nice on it.

    Yeah the 2015 IAM kit was lovely, although I think there's too many dark kits at the moment.

    A major change indeed

    Apparently it is only the training kit like the camo kit early last year

    I'm torn.
    I shop in Lidl, so should support Etixx,
    But I have a Canyon so should support Moviestar or that other team that uses Canyon.
