Nice ... errrrr ..... use of Helvetica?

Don't like the new Etixx QS kit at all. What was wrong with the old shade of blue ? Much nicer than the boring new one. And as for the matching blue shorts ! Maitre Jacques would surely not approve.

You'd think, coming from Ireland, he'd have learned the value of mudguards.

mudguards are for the weak....

Never rains here anyway, it pours

It's nice that Sky have borrowed the JLT kit, just added a bit of blue.

Id never realise just how big his chin is until now

It's not real leather - don't be fooled.

Mystic Monkey's predictions for the men in 2016:

The Yates brothers both win big
EQS find it difficult to accomodate both Kittel and Gaviria
Froome wins the TdF quite easily, but neither Landa nor Thomas do as well in the other GTs
Degenkolb wins more (semi-)classics, but not Paris-Roubaix, where he is beaten by both Stybar and Tony Martin.
Kwiat does the job in the Ardennes for Sky, Dan Martin just misses out again due to tactical mistakes.
Sagan wins the Olympic road race.
Uran continues to disappoint but Betancur is back to form and gets on the podium in a GT.
Zakarin gets near to a major win and then is done for doping
Cav doesn't win anything big on the road and also fails to get an Olympic place; however, Wiggins and the UK pursuit team win and destroy the world record.
