    We have a non-cyclist housemate at the moment, the other night she saw the KOM and said "What the hell, that poor guy should not be wearing that." We laughed so hard as we tried to explain it was an honor, she wasn't buying it. I think she thought he had done badly or something.

    I love Phil's "Leeky Gas". It really sounds like a medical condition that should be looked into.

    Julian Dean's diary on Thor losing his (Julz's) wheel at the finish of Stage 6:

    "In any case I would have got Thor in a good position if he'd been on my wheel, which he wasn't anyway, so none of it really matters"

    Good kiwi reasoning!

    Yea, I read somewhere that they put that black crotch on the yellow shorts not to confuse it with the person wearing the yellow jersey. That usually has a complete different kit for the tour, but went this way this year.

    Not only do I agree it is horrible looking but I still have to take a double take when watching the tour not to confuse "the yellow jersey" with one of these guys.

    Imagine, someone got big bucks to come up with this idea, ugh

    Those shorts are simply Castelli's new Free Bib shorts with team graphics added. The black isn't custom for the team.

    oh, they made it sound that way. Thank you for the clarification. Well, I guess someone likes the Castelli design. Too each their own I guess.
