snapdragon, I totally agree!
Mario "Cipo" makes boys swoon too!
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.)

Wowza!!!!!!!!
Where do we get the tunes they used in their video segment on the home page?? Seriously.
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)

I've been thinking about this (and also don't like the Caddy's as team cars). Originally Posted by IFjane

Does it seem strange that a team's CAR is now a source of identity for a team as much as the BIKE?2007 Seven ID8 - Bontrager InForm

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.

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)
