Rock Racing

[IFjane]

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)

I personally find the attitude of Slipstream much more appealing. They remind me of a geeky fraternity. Have you caught their mustaches?

rock racing has a huge presence here. more team buses and cars and personnel than any other team.

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!

I love that with so many sponsers fleeing pro cycling, that this guy is pouring money IN. And no matter how much I've outgrown 'bad boys' - I still get a kick out of it! 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!!!!)
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!

I miss this Pirate....troubled as he was:
The Pirate - Marco Pantani

Yea, they're caddies, but that sports car model I saw in Modesto was hot, ya gotta admit. Paint job's fab.

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.

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.

Hey gals,

This is really in response to all the skull-haters:-)

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.
