We saw an Ineos group around Calpe a few times last week (Ganna, Tarling, C Swift, Godon) and they were all in black shorts
Definitely? Is there an article out there stating as much?
I know the dev team are in black shorts, but I thought the main team were being forced to wear those atrocious white ones - maybe they have all complained enough to make the change happen.
Replica white shorts to be on 75% off soon - turbo duty perhaps
I thought they trained in the black shorts, but had to wear white for races - happy to be wrong.

Publicity box following the white short announcement ticked. Get on with wearing the black shorts now.

Thankyou kindly 😇
So white shorts for all the grand tours then
Maybe white shorts most days, black shorts if it's going to be wet and muddy?

L'Equipe are reporting that Rocket Man Sivakov is going to board the Seixas hype train at Decathlon next season.
Hopefully for Siv (& pretty much all of us), he hasn't bought the wrong Apex ticket with the french prodigy departing from a different platform for UAE although that junction in his career shouldn't come until the end of his contract at the end of '27.
With the market stationed the way it is with UAE able to tender unlimited amounts, this could signal a bidding war for his services in which I'm currently siding with Decathlon; moving to UAE, whilst lucrative, would surely cause his career to temporarily hit the buffers until Pog's career becomes derailed.
It's early in the season, so this is very much a sleeper story. Seixas hasn't expressed any opinions on this as yet.

I think Once Were Ineos may be entering the picture again with Netcompany and TotalEnergies cash. If he leaves Decathlon it could well be to them. Brailsford had a longstanding aim to win the Tour with a Frenchman (I assume because he'd never have to pay for a meal again in France)
Maybe they'll cross the line at d'Huez arm in arm.
