I personally find the attitude of Slipstream much more appealing. They remind me of a geeky fraternity. Have you caught their mustaches? :D
rock racing has a huge presence here. more team buses and cars and personnel than any other team.
I miss this Pirate....troubled as he was:Quote:

I see from their website that they're supposed to be at our race next weekend (Merco Cycling Classic Crit and RR; March 1 & 2). I doubt Cipo will be there, but I'll try to take pics of whoever is. They have a women's team too, and I'm sure they'll be in full force. Merco's not NRC this year, but it's in a new 3-race series packed with cash winnings, so it'll be a great show.

I am personally SO SO SO happy that Cipo is racing again.
And not just because I got him to sign my tire. My old tire. From when he was racing, you know, before.

*swooon*
-- gnat!
Guess I'm old enough that bad-boys (and all the drama & ego that come with them) hold no appeal anymore. Hate the skull. Reminds me of every little punk out there in a lowered Honda pretending to be Racer X.

I think the Rock & republic logo that Rock Racing has incorporated into their cycling kits is not necessarily a way of showing off how "bad A$$" they are. Rock and republic has been a fashion mainstay for a few years (Michael ball got a lot of flack for his label when it first started too). Since he essentially runs Rock Racing, why not put his trademark logo on every part of their body?
I think it's great. Many people who may never have considered cycling to be anything more than the new golf will start seeing it as something exciting and rejuvinated. Ok--Michael Ball has a bad attitude. He shouldn't put people who have given cycling a bad name in the past on a pedestal. But I think after a few years they can really become as Bad A$$ as they claim they are now.
Well said Bicycluz, I think this team is just very polarizing. I actually like the kits, the are far from boring! Well the shorts I am not a fan of, but the jerseys I like. I do not like that they hired three guys knowing they would possibly not be able to ride if Operation Puerto was reopened and then whined about it when they couldn't start the ToC. I do like Cippolini and Fast Freddie Rodriguez. I like the Caddies- they make a statement. See, I can't even make up my mind about Rock Racing! :p
I'm really diggin' those ToughGirl socks, too. Jeez, and I just dropped a bunch of dough at the LBS this weekend... Someone stop me!Quote:

Honestly, to be a pro cyclist, you have to have a bit of 'bad boy' to ride in such a body-crushing sport. YES, even the ever gentle George H. (YAY for his win today in Stage 7 of TOC!!!!) :cool:
And Cipo? He's one fit 41 year old! That's awesome too.
I have a feeling, we're going to be seeing ALOT of the RR kits on the road when they come availiable. More than the argyle of Slipstream, as much as I love those boys!
