As long as the girls keep their slot I'm happy! Looking forward to seeing what the "men in magenta" will now be wearing in the tour Down Under.

T-Mobile is one of the only teams from the Men's pro tour that sponsors a women's pro team too. (Lotto in Belgium do too - But the girls aren't sponsored by "Predictor!" Funny. I think that would more apply to them than the men though)

I'm interested to see what High Road does to the team kit. Would be a shame if Pink dropped out of all the pro tours wouldn't it. ;_;

I'm surprised they dint do this sooner, actually.

What a shame, especially for the women.
I think they didn't do it sooner because the T-Mobile team is tremendously popular here in Germany. You see loads of people cycling around in replica kit and (until his doping) Jan Ullrich was a national sporting hero.
