That music plays when I ride too.
But at a different speed :o
The clothes are cool but I am not sure about the attitude with the team. It seems a little uppity. Plus I don't know if I believe the riders or the tests on their three that are under investigation yet again for doping. They were gaining a decent following at the ToC. I will see about my opinion at the end of the season.
I'm kind of torn on this team.
They add a certain bad boy rock-n-roll bravado to the peleton.
I'm not sure I like the touted "win or be fired" mentality.
A dash of the NBA in a very Euro sport.
Not two flavors that mix very well. Bound to leave a bad taste in many mouths.
I can't believe these guys aren't totally embarrassed to be seen in the super-hero-wanna-be costumes.
I can think of one reason to love Rock Racing......:rolleyes:
(ok, who is that?)
snapdragon, I totally agree!
Mario "Cipo" makes boys swoon too! :D
From what I have read the only big downside is the huge attitude Michael Ball has had regarding three of his riders, Tyler Hamilton being one of them, not being allowed to ride in the Tour of California. Personally, I don't know if it's right to support a rider who has been accused and/or convicted of doping. There are a million other riders out there who can be just as good and be twice as honest.
I hope they make the statement that Rock Racing wants...hey, they got mario out of retirement right? I just hope these "bad boys" of racing keep it clean...all of them.
as for their outfits....LOVE them. They look like they can kick ***...
(still secretly in love with Slipstream riders...i think it's because of the argyle.)

I wanna superhero costume, too, but I will settle for the tunes and ride "undercover".
The kits are cool. Not sure about the attitude either. And what I absolutely do not like is their use of gas-guzzling Cadillacs as their team vehicles. Gimme Slipstream's Beamers any day! (or Jittery Joe's minis) :eek::D
I've been thinking about this (and also don't like the Caddy's as team cars).Quote:

I don't know what BMW Slipstream is using, but it's unlikely to be much better. The Mini of course gets much better mileage.
V.
Plus Caddie is taking a sponsorship interest.
I do not like the attitude of Rock racing. You don't have to be mean a$$ or bad a$$ to be good. And what's with that skull... (well at least its not the Jolly Roger)
